In sentinel node (SN) biopsy, an interval SN is defined as a lymph node or group of lymph
nodes located between the primary melanoma and an anatomically well-defined lymph …

Interval sentinel lymph nodes (ISLN) are defined as the lymph nodes located between the
primary melanoma and anatomically well‐defined lymph nodal basins. It was reported that …

Background. Recent studies have demonstrated that there exists a great variation in the
lymphatic drainage in patients with malignant melanoma. Some patients have drainage to …

Hypothesis For patients with melanoma, interval or in-transit sentinel lymph nodes (SLNs)
have the same risk for nodal metastasis as SLN in traditional (ie, cervical, axillary, and …

Purpose To assess the incidence of nonmajor lymphatic basin sentinel nodes in patients
with cutaneous melanoma in order to propose a correct nomenclature and inform …

Abstract Background Interval sentinel nodes (SNs) are lymph nodes receiving direct
lymphatic drainage from a primary site and lying between the tumor and a recognized node …

Aim To simulate the effects of previous wide cutaneous melanoma excision in sentinel
lymph node (SLN) biopsy feasibility through a change in the radiotracer injection site …

Background: Sentinel lymph node (SLN) mapping by lymphoscintigraphy has changed the
surgical management of regional lymph node metastases for melanoma. SLNs lying outside …

Since its first description in 1990, sentinel node (SN) biopsy has become the standard for
accurate staging of a melanoma‐draining regional lymphatic basin. This minimally invasive …

BACKGROUND Sentinel lymphadenectomy reliably identifies the first site (s) of regional
lymphatic drainage and, therefore, the most likely lymph nodes to contain occult metastasis …
