TL;DR: The null hypothesis tested was whether nodal metastases from malignant melanoma occurred in equal proportions among sentinel and nonsentinel nodes, and the probability that all seven unpaired observations would demonstrate that involvement of the sentinel node is 0.008.

TL;DR: The use of intraoperative radiolymphoscintigraphy can improve the identification of all SLNs during selective lymphadenectomy, and was used to confirm the location of the SLN initially with the preoperative lymphoscintigram and the intraoperative vital blue dye injection.

TL;DR: Structural and functional alterations caused by intrinsic aging and independent of environmental insults are now recognized in the skin of elderly individuals, including a decreased growth rate of the epidermis, hair, and nails, delayed wound healing, reduced dermal clearance of fluids and foreign materials, and compromised vascular responsiveness.

TL;DR: The use of an RT-PCR assay for detection of submicroscopic melanoma metastases in SLNs improved the prediction of melanoma recurrence and overall survival over routine pathological examination.

TL;DR: A clinical study was initiated to determine if this mode of treatment would be effective against certain primary and metastatic cutaneous malignancies.
