      My recent path report says that my nodular melanoma is :

      Clark level at least IV

      Breslow Thickness at least .44mm

       

      No what I am confused about it that it doesnt seem to match up.  The Clark level would put it past a depth .44mm right?

      And why do they use "at least" ?
