Indocyanine Green for Sentinel Node Biopsy in Head and Neck Melanoma: A Novel Approach
respectively.The 5-year MSS was 99.4% for Low-Risk and 61.7% for High-Risk pts (HR 71.05; p<0.001), capturing 12 out of 16 melanoma specific deaths in the CP-GEP High-Risk group.Conclusions: This comprehensive study shows that CP-GEP has the potential to stratify pts with early-stage melanoma who did not undergo SLNB based on their risk of recurrence.Pts with CP-GEP Low-Risk have a good long-term survival while pts with CP-GEP High-Risk have a high risk of recurrence.CP-GEP may have the potential to stratify pts beyond SLNB.
