Melanoma
In the period 1962-77, 205 patients with malignant melanoma (cancer of the skin) had a radical operation performed at Odense University Hospital, Denmark. All patients were followed until the end of 1977 by which time 134 were still alive while 71 had died (of out whom 57 had died from cancer and 14 from other causes). The object of the study was to assess the effect of risk factors on survival. Among such risk factors were the sex and age of the patients and the histological variables tumor thickness and ulceration (absent vs. present). The data file includes the variables: DC death/censoring indicator 1 = death from malignant melanoma, 2 = alive 31DEC77, 3 = death from other causes DAYS time in days from operation LEVEL level of invasion, 0, 1 or 2 ICI inflammatory cell infiltration (ICI), 0, 1, 2 or 3 ECEL presence of epithelioid cells, 1=no, 2=yes ULC presence of ulceration, 0=no, 1=yes THICK tumour thickness (in mm) SEX sex, 0=F, 1=M AGE age at operation (years)
