Abstract

1 min read

A histopathologic excision margin of 8 mm or more (corresponding to a ≥1 cm surgical excision margin) combined with SLN biopsy (followed by an immediate completion lymph node dissection if positive) provided T3 melanoma patients with optimum local, regional, and distant disease control and resulted in enhanced melanoma-specific survival.
