Histologic regression in primary melanomas ≥0.75 mm was not associated sentinel node involvement, according to results of a retrospective study

The findings suggest that sentinel node biopsy in thin melanomas with regression may not be appropriate without additional adverse prognostic factors, the researchers wrote.

    I'm not clear on what part of the link is being referred to – does something say that regression is linked to sentinel node?

    This post is not addressing regression…but the other factors that may indicate the need to examine and/or remove sentinel nodes in the presence of thin melanoma lesions, that your artcle alluded to, but did not specifically address. C
