Proffered Paper Session: Ronald Raven Prize Papers Session72. The long-term results of sentinel node biopsy with triple-technique in cutaneous melanoma

The sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) is basic staging method in all primary cutaneous melanomas ≥pT1b. The standard technique is triple technique consisting of preoperative lymphoscintigraphy, intraoperative blue-dye lymphography and gamma-probe assessment. We performed the analysis of long-term results in very large one-institution series of cutaneous melanoma patients.
