External validation of a model to predict recurrence-free and melanoma-specific survival for patients with melanoma after sentinel node biopsy
The model demonstrated good performance in a large heterogeneous independent cohort, emphasizing its robustness. Decision curve analysis revealed a clear net benefit of the model over a treat all strategy, highlighting its potential for clinical use.
