Abstract
Prognostic value of angiogenesis evaluated with high-frequency and colour Doppler sonography for preoperative assessment of primary cutaneous melanomas: correlation with recurrence after a 5 year follow-up period - Cancer Imaging Prognostic value of angiogenesis evaluated with high-frequency and colour Doppler sonography for preoperative assessment of primary cutaneous melanomas: correlation with recurrence after a 5 year follow-up period - Objective: To study the value of high-frequency sonography (HFS) and colour Doppler sonography (CDS) in evaluating the 5 year metastatic potential of primary cutaneous melanomas (CM). Materials and methods: 111 CM were studied before surgical resection and 107 were depicted on HFS. The maximal HFS thickness was measured and compared with the Breslow thickness. A CDS study was performed in each tumour.Keywords
