Résumé
The utilization of sentinel lymph node (SLN) biopsy has transformed the workup and staging of intermediate-thickness cutaneous melanomas. SLN biopsy, performed at the time of primary tumor excision, accurately maps lymph nodes at risk of harboring occult metastatic deposits from head and neck cutaneous melanomas and represents the current standard of care. Completion lymphadenectomy identifies additional tumor in 12% to 24% of SLN biopsy positive cases but does not affect melanoma-specific survival.
