Oligometastatic disease and visceral resections in advanced malignant melanoma: a propensity-matched analysis.

The resection of visceral metastases is a rational treatment option in advanced malignant melanoma. Although our study is limited by a small cohort of patients (n = 18), we believe that the resection of visceral metastases will be fundamental in the treatment of malignant melanoma. In particular, patients in an oligometastatic stage could be an eligible group for surgical treatment.
