Treatment of primary non-metastatic melanoma at high-volume academic facilities is associated with improved long-term patient survival

Volume-outcome relationships in cancer care have motivated calls for regionalization of care. We demonstrate that high-volume academic facilities achieve improved outcomes for melanoma patients. Increased utilization of those aspects of these centers that increase patient survival, whether by regionalization of care or dissemination of these practices, may improve patient outcomes.
