Item does not contain fulltext1158 sentinel lymph nodes (SLNs), excised from patients with primary cutaneous melanoma, were assessed pathologically using histology with immunohistochemistry (IHC) on all nodes, and RT-PCR for Mart-1 and tyrosinase on 55 nodes. RT-PCR was compared with the histology and IHC assessed on the same nodes. The evaluation of progressively more detailed protocols for histology and IHC modulated by the RT-PCR results led to a procedure that consistently detects metastases in 34% of patients submitted to SLN biopsy for cutaneous melanomas with a vertical growth phase and a mean thickness of 2.02 mm (range 0.25, with regression, to 19 mm). As this technique is virtually free of false positives and produces only a margi...
