Predictors of sentinel lymph node status of cutaneous melanoma in Serbian patients.

CONCLUSIONS: Patients with Breslow thickness ≥2.8 mm, ulceration, and high mitotic rate are at higher risk for SLN metastasis. In addition, high Breslow thickness and presence of ulceration are associated with decreased DFS. These results indicate that multiple selection criteria should be used when performing and predicting SLN metastasis and disease recurrence. PMID: 29745094 [PubMed - in process]
