TL;DR: Patients with early stage melanoma who have nodal metastases and are likely to benefit from radical lymphadenectomy are identified, with a high degree of accuracy, by a new procedure developed using vital dyes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Lymphatic Mapping and Sentinel Lymphadenectomy for Breast Cancer
TL;DR: The authors report the feasibility and accuracy of intraoperative lymphatic mapping with sentinel lymphadenectomy in patients with breast cancer.

TL;DR: The spectrum of driver mutations provided unequivocal genomic evidence for a direct mutagenic role of UV light in melanoma pathogenesis, providing oncogenic insights in BRAF- and NRAS-driven melanoma as well as those without known NRAS/BRAF mutations.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The staging of intermediate-thickness primary melanomas according to the results of sentinel-node biopsy provides important prognostic information and identifies patients with nodal metastases whose survival can be prolonged by immediate lymphadenectomy.
