Faut M, et al. - Factors associated with pelvic nodal involvement were assessed, in order to improve the selection of patients in whom benefit from a pelvic nodal dissection could be achieved in metastatic melanoma. Researchers performed a retrospective analysis on prospectively collected data concerning patients who underwent an inguinal lymph node dissection (ILND) with pelvic lymph node dissection for metastatic melanoma at the University Medical Center Groningen. Finding yielded no patient- or tumour characteristics that can forecast pelvic nodal involvement in patients with melanoma metastasis to the groin. Abandoning the pelvic lymph node dissection is not supported as no imaging technique is able to predict pelvic nodal involvement.
