Abstract:
A total of 226 cases of malignant melanoma of the skin (MM), clinical stage I disease, located on the leg (87), arm (36), or trunk (103), were treated with elective regional node dissection (ERND). The axillary lymph nodes were dissected by a T-shaped skin incision line, whereas the inguinal nodes were removed with the help of a spindle-shaped skin excision. Both techniques, without mortality, offered the precondition for extirpation of the lymph nodes en bloc and guaranteed well-healing wounds.

01:30Skin Cancer
Skin cancer is a type of cancer that occurs when there is an abnormal growth of skin cells, usually triggered by damage to the DNA within the skin cells. It is primarily caused by exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun or artificial sources like tanning beds. Skin cancer is the most common type of cancer worldwide, and its incidence continues to rise.

01:15Secondary Lymphoid Organs
Secondary organs, including lymph nodes, the spleen, and mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT), work harmoniously to protect us from disease and infection.
The spleen is a vital organ in the lymphatic system, nestled in the upper left side of the abdomen. It is composed of two primary regions: the red pulp and the white pulp, each having distinct functions. The red pulp performs a significant role in blood filtration. It efficiently purges the blood of old or damaged red blood cells and...
