Age as key factor for pattern, timing and extent of distant metastasis in patients with cutaneous melanoma. A study of the German Central Malignant Melanoma Registry

This study found an inverse relationship between age at diagnosis and the number of metastatic sites; these findings may have implications for optimizing outcomes of melanoma patients.
