    TLDR Early detection and intervention improve survival in melanoma patients.
    The study investigated untreated, resectable stage I–III melanoma patients in Serbia, focusing on their sociodemographic and clinicopathological characteristics, as well as recurrence rates, recurrence-free survival (RFS), melanoma-specific survival (MSS), and overall survival (OS) according to AJCC sub-stage. The findings highlighted variations in survival outcomes based on sub-stage, with detailed analysis of recurrence patterns and survival metrics. This research provides valuable insights into the natural progression of melanoma in this patient population, emphasizing the importance of early detection and potential intervention strategies to improve survival outcomes.
