Values expressed as count (row percent)
Includes sentinel lymph node sampling and/or adjuvant therapy (e.g. interferon) as additional treatment responses
Write-in responses that included differential diagnoses were classified using two scenarios, one presuming the least severe diagnosis and the other presuming the most severe diagnosis
