Abstract

Abstract The surgical management of regional nodes in patients with cancer has been controversial for many years. This paper reviews the role of elective lymph node dissection in the management of malignant melanoma. The evidence for and against elective lymphadenectomy is discussed and a policy of therapeutic, rather than elective, lymph node excision recommended.
