          This link talks about all the changes between staging document 7th edition to the new 8th edition staging document. If you go about 1/4 way down the page you will see comments about mitotic rate.https://www.skincancer.org/publications/the-melanoma-letter/2018-vol-36-no-1/ajcc-staging-system

              Thank you Ed I knew you’ll have something about it. So, as I understand it’s not used in staging but it’s still a factor in prognosis?

                I don’t want to get into the weeds to much on the topic since it is not an area that I spend much time on, but there is a pretty good article published for dermatologist this year that you might want to take a look at. On page 217 and 240 mitosis rate comes up. https://www.jaad.org/article/S0190-9622(18)32588-X/pdf

                    One more time and if it doesn’t work then do a google search ‘ Guidelines of care for the management of primary cutaneous melanoma jaad.org. S M Swetter 2019″ https://www.jaad.org/article/S0190-9622(18)32588-X/fulltext#sec9.1
