"The initial clinical staging of the primary malignant melanoma is essential and incorporates clinical and/or radiological evaluation for metastatic disease. The Breslow thickness and Clarke level of cutaneous melanoma classification has been widely discussed, as has the AJCC TNM staging protocol."

"Metastatic melanoma remains the third most common cause of intracranial metastases, behind both lung and breast cancer 3. Metastasis to the CNS are designated M1d disease as per the 8th edition AJCC melanoma staging system."

Oxford Comma
suggestion

"Melanoma accounts for ~5% of all skin cancers, however, it remains the leading cause of death amongst skin cancers. The risk of metastatic progression has a strong association with the site of the initial primary melanoma, with melanomas arising from the head, neck and trunk carrying a higher risk of metastatic progression than those melanomas arising from the limbs 1,2."

Line 3:273 · Use the Oxford comma in 'head, neck and trunk'.

"lymph nodes with metastatic disease may have an irregular, hypoechoic or lobulated appearance 3"

Line 13:60 · Use the Oxford comma in 'irregular, hypoechoic or lobulated'.
