Following a review of the literature, 36 variables relating to primary tumors, sentinel lymph nodes, and lymph node dissection were evaluated using the modified Delphi method by a panel of 8 specialists (including 7 pathologists). Consensus was reached on the 30 variables that should be included in all pathology reports for cutaneous melanoma and submitted to the Melanoma Registry. This list can also serve as a model to guide routine reporting in pathology departments. %K Consenso %K Consensus %K Delphi technique %K Histology %K Histología %K Melanoma %K Método Delphi %K Prognosis %K Pronóstico %K Registries %K Registros %~
