Mucosal melanoma of the head and neck: a retrospective analysis of 34 cases in Japan

CONCLUSIONS: No independent prognostic factors for the 5-year OS or DSS were identified. Regional or distant recurrences are often identified, regardless of local control with surgical resection. Difficult control of MMHN with conventional therapeutic strategies, such as surgical intervention, PORT, and systemic therapy, has been suggested.PMID:38362716 | DOI:10.1080/00016489.2024.2314590
