Abstract:
A review of the recent medical literature on malignant melanoma yielded sufficient information to correlate readily identifiable tumor characteristics to disease-free intervals, and in turn to subsequent risk of cerebral metastasis and neurologic incapacitation. These data were used to construct a new decision table to help guide flight surgeons considering a flying waiver for aviators with a history of melanoma.
