A retrospective evaluation of 201 stage I cutaneous melanomas was performed to investigate the prognostic significance of histological regression (present in 67 cases). Thin melanomas showed regression more frequently than thick lesions (48% less-than-or-equal-to 0.75 mm vs 12% > 3 mm). The mean disease-free interval was 33.53 months in regressing tumours and 19.9 in non-regressing tumours (p=0.07): differences between the survival curves were not significant (p=0.61). Metastases developed in 13 (19.40%) patients with regressing tumours and by 40 (29.85%) patients with non-regressing tumours. Although we observed a higher frequency of regression in thin melanomas we could not demonstrate an influence of regression on disease-free interval and survival.
