Cox regression of several clinical parameters in melanoma patients. AJCC (American Joint Committee on Cancer) staging is used to determine severity of tumors. HR, hazard ratio, indicates how much each factor increases mortality of patients. P indicates the p-value of each factor having an independent effect on mortality of patients. Asterisks indicate significant p-values at α = 0.05.
