- •
Retrospective review on 826 patients who underwent sentinel lymph node (SLN) biopsy.
- •
SLN volume, largest diameter, tumor and patient characteristics were analyzed.
- •
SLN size was correlated with melanoma metastasis to the regional.
- •
Patients with a SLN greater than 1.5 cm had a 60% increased risk of nodal metastasis.
