    Lymph node dissection in malignant melanoma is crucial for staging and prognosis. Identifying patient subgroups who benefit from this procedure and sentinel lymph node biopsy requires further research.

    Area of Science:

    • Oncology
    • Surgical Oncology
    • Dermatology

    Context:

    • Malignant melanoma management involves lymph node dissection for staging and prognosis.
    • Patient selection for elective lymph node dissection (ELND) remains a challenge.
    • Established lymph node metastases significantly worsen melanoma prognosis.

    Purpose:

    • To discuss the role of lymph node dissection in malignant melanoma staging and prognosis.
    • To explore parameters for identifying patient subgroups who benefit from ELND.
    • To evaluate the potential of sentinel lymph node identification and adjuvant therapies.

    Summary:

    • Lymph node dissection is vital for staging malignant melanoma, with patient selection influenced by pT-categories, tumor characteristics, and patient sex.

  • Established lymph node metastases decrease melanoma prognosis by 20-50%.
  • Emerging research identifies nodal-positive patients who may benefit from adjuvant chemo-/immunotherapy, necessitating future discussion on lymph node dissection's role.

    • Impact:

    • Highlights the importance of accurate staging for melanoma patient management.
    • Emphasizes the need for refined criteria in selecting patients for lymph node dissection.
    • Suggests a shift towards personalized treatment strategies based on nodal status and potential response to adjuvant therapies.
