Recent papers have addressed critical issues regarding the microstaging of cutaneous melanoma. They concern the new staging proposal by the American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC), the presentation of new prognostic models than seem applicable in daily practice, and new immunohistochemical findings than demonstrate prognostic information independently of the conventional major factors. These issues are commented on by the Pathology Committee of the EORTC Melanoma Group. Copyright © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
