Sentinel node for malignant melanoma: an observational study of a consecutive single center experience

ConclusionsIn this study Breslow thickness was the only independent predictive factor for a positive SN, no predictive factors were identified for NSN. Independent prognostic factors for MSS were SN status, Breslow thickness and ulceration. Interestingly, there was no survival difference depending on SN tumour burden when using 1 mm as cut-off.
