Recent papers have addressed critical issues regarding the microstaging of cutaneous melanoma. They concern the new staging proposal by the American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC), the presentation of new prognostic models than seem applicable in daily practice, and new immunohistochemical findings than demonstrate prognostic information independently of the conventional major factors. These issues are commented on by the Pathology Committee of the EORTC Melanoma Group.
近期的论文探讨了皮肤黑色素瘤微分期的关键问题。这些问题涉及美国癌症联合委员会（AJCC）提出的新分期建议、一些似乎适用于日常实践的新预后模型，以及一些能独立于传统主要因素显示预后信息的新免疫组化研究结果。欧洲癌症研究与治疗组织（EORTC）黑色素瘤小组病理委员会对这些问题进行了评论。
