Clinicopathological Characteristics Predicting Further Recurrence and Survival Following Resection of In-Transit Melanoma Metastases.

Recurrence after surgical resection of a first ITM was common. Patterns of recurrence differed according to anatomical site; further ITM recurrences were more likely for lower limb ITMs, which were also associated with longer distant recurrence-free survival. Distant metastasis was more common for ITM on the head and neck, with worse survival.
