Article Synopsis
- - The study analyzed the effectiveness of sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) and completion lymph node dissection (CLND) in melanoma patients to understand factors linked to positive non-sentinel nodes, based on 110 cases over 7 years.
- - Results showed that 34.5% of SLNBs were positive, and higher Breslow thickness and characteristics like perinodal invasion were associated with a greater risk of non-sentinel node metastasis.
- - The authors emphasize the need for more studies in diverse populations to adapt findings from this cohort and address related issues in melanoma treatment.
