| مستخلص: | The aim of the study was to determine the incidence of lymph node recurrence in 16 melanoma patients with a minimal metastasis (Starz level I) in a sentinel node in whom a completion lymph node dissection was omitted. A secondary aim was to examine whether other melanoma-related recurrences developed. Sixteen melanoma patients with an SI-involved sentinel node, who did not undergo completion lymph node dissection, were followed for a median of 66 months. Lymph node recurrences did not occur. One of the 16 patients developed a local recurrence and another developed satellite metastases. None of the 16 patients with an SI-positive sentinel node developed a nodal recurrence, which suggests that the risk of refraining from node dissection in such patients is small. This option could be considered and discussed with the patient in terms of the risk of nonsentinel node involvement and the unsolved problem of unknown overall survival advantage. |
