My struggle was with making the decision to go with partial lymph node dissection or watch and wait. I found this article after making my decision, but felt that some of the panel would have agreed with my decision. I feel that the answers to the last question, “Should SLNB plus completion lymphadenectomy of biopsy-positive patients be the standard of care in melanoma in the United States?” help those of us dealing with this understand why we are so confused- the opinions among the experts vary greatly!
