Study on over 8,000 patients with .5 to 1.0 mm cutaneous melanomas on the results of their SLNB. I found it interesting that the younger patients had a few percentage points greater likelihood of having a positive lymph node than the older patients. Opposite of what I would expect.
Says "Patients with a tumor less than .76mm without ulceration or mitoses had an overall low rate of nodal positivity regardless of age."

Interesting, Brian. The new data supports the data from 2014 I published here: http://chaoticallypreciselifeloveandmelanoma.blogspot.com/2014/04/with-melanoma-you-can-never-be-too-rich.html
Hope you have a great weekend. c
