Prognostic factors of overall survival in patients with delayed lymph node dissection for cutaneous malignant melanoma.

abstract：:Selective sentinel lymph node (SLN) dissection is widely used in the management of cutaneous melanoma patients without clinical evidence of nodal metastases. A series of 274 consecutive melanoma patients who underwent melanoma primary excision and SLN mapping at our institutions since 1998, and were thereafter followe...
