Sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) has transformed melanoma treatment by identifying metastatic melanoma in the first draining lymph node. This minimally invasive staging selects patients for further treatment, improving outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Surgical Pathology

Background:

  • Cutaneous melanoma treatment has advanced significantly.
  • Lymphatic mapping and sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) are key innovations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the development and clinical application of SLNB in melanoma.
  • To discuss the technical aspects and controversies surrounding SLNB.

Main Methods:

  • Injection of a radioactive tracer at the primary melanoma site.
  • Identification and removal of the first draining (sentinel) lymph node.
  • Histopathological evaluation of the sentinel lymph node for melanoma metastasis.

Main Results:

  • SLNB enables accurate, minimally invasive staging of cutaneous melanoma.

  • It identifies patients who will benefit from regional lymphadenectomy.
  • It aids in selecting patients for adjuvant and investigational immunotherapy.

    • Conclusions:

    • SLNB has revolutionized melanoma surgical treatment.
    • It allows for precise patient selection for further therapeutic interventions.
    • The procedure facilitates improved patient management and outcomes in cutaneous melanoma.
