A comparison of the Breslow depth and all-cause survival of male and female genital melanomas

Abstract

To the Editor: Genital melanomas account for 0.52% of primary melanomas.1 Genital melanomas are more common in women, and vaginal tumors have worse survival than vulvar tumors.1,2 However, differences in Breslow depth among genital tumors has not been fully explored. This study explored differences in Breslow depth and all-cause survival between vulvar, vaginal, penile, and scrotal melanoma.
