Surgical options in melanoma metastasis in regional lymph nodes

Abstract

This review presents an analysis of treatment outcomes for patients with metastases of cutaneous melanoma into the regional lymph nodes. Types of surgical interventions currently used in oncological surgery for this pathology are considered, as well as the trends of their future practical application. The results of sentinel lymph node biopsy and regional lymph node dissection in patients with primary tumors with varying thickness and the effect of surgical interventions on treatment effectiveness are presented.
