Title: Prediction of sentinel node status using melanoma e-prognostic tools. Cord-id: y6imi23e Document date: 2020_12_24
ID: y6imi23e
Snippet: Unpredictable clinical outcome in melanoma is an ongoing challenge. Discrepancy in risk prediction tools has previously been noted in estimating melanoma survival1 . Patients with intermediate thickness melanoma (0.8-4mm) are eligible for a sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) to gain further prognostic information. However, SLNB is not without complication and carries the added risk of a general anaesthetic and, at present, risk of possible nosocomial Covid-19 infection.
