National Trends in Management of the Nodal Basin for Pediatric Patients With Occult Stage III Melanoma in the United States
The findings of this study support clinical observation after SLNB in pediatric patients with melanoma, as we noted de-escalation in the extent of nodal surgery without compromising OS. We also noted increasing utilization of adjuvant IO among patients with positive SLNB. Multidisciplinary discussion remains vital for managing melanoma in pediatric patients.
