- Abstract
We performed a prospective analysis of Breslow thickness in melanoma before the COVID-19 pandemic and after. We considered that the malignant melanomas (MMs) presenting to our department between March 2020 and March 2021 were more advanced than previously, therefore we undertook an evaluation to compare MM stage before and after the pandemic. 1), with proportionately fewer Stage 1 cancers diagnosed after pandemic onset (48%) compared with before the pandemic (55%).
