Surgical Management of Thick Primary Cutaneous Melanoma in the <scp>US</scp>
Our results suggest that increasing Breslow thickness and nodal assessment provide important prognostic information regarding OS for thick melanoma patients, which emphasizes the importance of SLNB for staging and confirm the lack of benefit of CLND after +SLN in thick melanoma. The size of surgical margins did not affect OS.
