The prognostic significance of regression has long been a matter of debate. Our guest, Professor Richard Scolyer, co-director of the Melanoma Institute Australia discussed his team’s recent findings on the prognostic value of regression, and the presence of regression and/or tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL) in primary cutaneous melanomas predicted sentinel lymph node (SLN) status and survival outcomes. Study by Scolyer et al, Histological regression in melanoma: impact on sentinel lymph node status and survival. Modern Pathology, 2021. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41379-021-00870-2.
