摘要

The MSLT-1 study compared sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) with nodal observation in patients with localized cutaneous melanoma. The final results of the trial-conducted from 1994 to 2002-strongly support using SLNB in staging patients with melanomas %26gt;= 1.0 mm in thickness, but the optimal staging approach for thinner melanomas is unanswered.
