Overview

Meta-analysis studies survival rates and prognostic factors in oral melanoma, suggesting non-ulcerated tumors have better outcomes.

Key Points

  • Overall survival rates for oral melanoma decline significantly from 58% at two years to 29% at five years.
  • The analysis included 3767 patients across 38 studies, revealing important prognostic factors in survival rates.
  • Non-ulcerated oral melanomas with high pigmentation are linked to the best survival rates at five years.
  • Factors like tumor location and gender do not seem to significantly impact survival outcomes in oral melanoma cases.
