In primary disease, overexpression was associated with tumour thickness and with the presence of ulceration, age and reduced disease-free interval. Of most importance, high expression of c-myc predicted poor outcome in both primary and metastatic disease. In addition, c-myc was able to discriminate prognosis in melanomas uniformly stratified as thick (greater than 3 mm) lesions.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n
