Abstract

Background: Cutaneous melanoma is the 15th most common cancer worldwide. Ireland has the 4th highest incidence rate in Europe in women and the 8th highest incidence rate in men. Sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) is an essential part of the melanoma staging process for intermediate and thick melanomas, however, the exact survival benefit is unclear. As part of this systematic review we wish to assess the literature regarding SLNB in cutaneous melanoma patients, specifically relating to survival benefit.
