[SPORADIC SKIN MELANOMA BEYOND ITS NORMATIVE CLASSIFICATION. PLEA CONSIDERING ITS EVOLUTIVE CHARACTERISTICS].

For aeons, cutaneous sporadic melanoma, exhibiting either a slow or rapid growth rate, is identified using a set of well defined histopathological criteria. Such diagnostic step is greatly appreciated, and it brings a rough estimate of the probable evolution of the cancer. Some additional assessments try to improve the progressive prognosis of cutaneous melanoma. In this scope, fractals and spectral analyses expect to better perceive the individual progressive characteristics of each tumor. The extent in the tumoral germinative compartment and the peritumoral microvascular network are explored and should in a near future make clear the progressive potential of cutaneous melanoma. The posible tumoral regression and the immune reaction should be better perceived.
