Fills a real gap: the brief's surveillance schedule rested on guideline sources (BIB244 WoSCAN, SIGN 146) with no patient-band-specific recurrence-hazard data. KEY: melanomas of 0.8โ€“1.0 mm behave like Stage IB (9.8% recurrence; 10-yr RFS 81.9%; peak yearly hazard up to 1:313 in years 1โ€“5) โ€” materially worse than <0.8 mm (3.7% recurrence; 10-yr RFS 91.5%; โ‰ค1:1111/yr) โ€” so this paโ€ฆ
