Survival of sentinel node biopsy versus observation in intermediate-thickness melanoma: A Dutch population-based study
Background The Multicenter Selective Lymphadenectomy Trial (MSLT-1) comparing survival after a sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) versus nodal observation in melanoma patients did not show a significant benefit favoring SLNB. However, in subgroup analyses melanoma-specific survival among patients with nodal metastases seemed better. Aim To evaluate the association of performing a SLNB with overall survival in intermediate thickness melanoma patients in a Dutch population-based daily clinical setting. Methods Survival, excess mortality adjusted for age, gender, Breslow-thickness, ulceration, his... Mehr ...
