Conduta para o melanoma cutâneo

Abstract: A incidência do melanoma cutâneo vem aumentando significativamente de 1:1500 em 1935 para cerca de 1:75 no ano 2000. Contudo, atribuído a um diagnóstico cada vez mais precoce, têm-se observado uma melhora da sobrevida em cinco anos com diminuição da taxa de mortalidade geral entre 70 a 80% desde a década de 30. É o câncer mais prevalente na faixa etária entre 25 e 35 anos nos EUA. O Brasil ocupa a 15º posição com relação à incidência do tumor no mundo. O estadiamento inicial é baseado na pesquisa de sinais e s… Show more

“…Material may be lost in the freezing process, negatively affecting diagnosis made by hematoxylin-eosin staining or immunohistochemistry. 2,10 In the present study, there was no discrepancy between the results of the frozen section procedures and histopathology and with respect to lymph node status. All the SLN were neoplasia-free, meaning that unnecessary lymphadenectomies were avoided.…”

“…Lymphatic mapping prior to surgery and selective lymphadenectomy of marked lymph nodes was first described by Morton in 1992 and is currently standard practice in the case of melanomas with Breslow depth > 1 mm or, irrespective of depth, for those with other characteristics such as Clark level > III or ulceration. [1][2][3][4] Biopsy of the SLN represents a significant advantage since the procedure is less invasive. Only 20% of individuals with a Breslow depth of 1-4 mm develop metastases.…”
