Article Synopsis
- Cutaneous melanoma (MC) is a type of aggressive skin cancer linked to genetic factors and UV exposure, with poor prognosis despite treatment advancements.
- The study aimed to analyze the relationship between tumor burden in sentinel lymph nodes (SLN) and patient mortality after SLN biopsy in patients with MC.
- Out of 105 patients studied, 8.6% had positive SLN, with T2 and T3 tumors showing a higher likelihood of SLN involvement, but no deaths occurred in patients with positive SLN during follow-up.
