Grid of ten Kaplan-Meier survival plots compares overall survival (left column) and melanoma-specific survival (right column) by a variable labeled “Absent” or “Present” across overall cohort and stages I–IV. Each plot displays survival probability over three years, color-coded for each group, with p-values indicated for each comparison; overall and early-stage overall survival show significant differences (p < 0.0001, 0.0011), while most melanoma-specific survival curves have high p-values, indicating no significant difference except in stage II. Number at risk tables are provided below each plot. — Overall and melanoma-specific mortality by tumor prevalence status and stage at diagnosis.
