Predictors of sentinel lymph node status in cutaneous melanoma: a classification and regression tree analysis.
OBJECTIVE The main aim of this study was to identify predictors of sentinel lymph node (SN) metastasis in cutaneous melanoma. PATIENTS AND METHODS This was a retrospective cohort study of 818 patients in 2 tertiary-level hospitals. The primary outcome variable was SN involvement. Independent predictors were identified using multiple logistic regression and a classification and regression tree...

متن کاملSentinel-lymph-node biopsy for cutaneous melanoma.
Results: Positive SLNs were detected in 39 (15%) of 260 cases, including 0 (0%) of 45 for cutaneous melanomas 1.0 mm thick or less (T1), 21 (18%) of 115 for melanomas 1.01 to 2.0 mm thick (T2), 12 (19%) of 64 for melanomas 2.01 to 4.0 mm thick (T3), and 5 (16%) of 32 for melanomas thicker than 4.0 mm (T4). Median Breslow depths were 1.89 mm for SLN-positive biopsy specimens and 1.50 mm for SLN-...
متن کاملPredictors of sentinel lymph node status and onset of regional lymph nodes metastases in melanoma.
INTRODUCTION Several clinico-pathological characteristics such as age, sex, tumour localization, Breslow thickness, ulceration, mitotic count, vessel invasion and the presence of tumour-infiltrating lymphocytes have been identified as independent prognostic factors for relapse and overall survival of patients with skin melanoma. The aim of this study was to identify characteristics of primary m...
متن کاملRadioguided sentinel lymph node biopsy in malignant cutaneous melanoma.
The procedure of sentinel lymph node biopsy in patients with malignant cutaneous melanoma has evolved from the notion that the tumor drains in a logical way through the lymphatic system, from the first to subsequent levels. As a consequence, the first lymph node encountered (the sentinel node) will most likely be the first affected by metastasis; therefore, a negative sentinel node makes it hig...
