Completion lymphadenectomy for sentinel node positive cutaneous head & neck melanoma.


ABSTRACT: The application and utility of melanoma sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) has evolved significantly since its inception over two decades ago. The current focus has shifted from a staging modality to potentially a therapeutic intervention. Recent research to include large multi-institutional randomized trials have attempted to answer the question: is a completion lymph node dissection (CLND) required following a positive SLNB? This review provides an evidence-based, contemporary review of the utility of CLND for SLNB positive head and neck cutaneous melanoma patients.NA.
