2 Surgical Issues Margins How narrow? Sentinel Lymph Node Biopsy Who Why Completion Lymph Node Dissection Why? Why not? Metastatic Disease (Stage IV) Where does surgery fit?

3 Margin Recommendations:pre-1970* 2 cm Cooling (1966) 5 cm Hadley (1907) Raven (1953) Petersen (1962) Olsen (1966) 8 cm Pack (1953) As wide as possible - Veronesi (1966) 15 cm Petersen (1962) * Wong CK, Dermatologica 141: 215, 1970

13 Intergroup ELND: Overall Survival Balch, Ann Surg Oncol, 2000

14 Sentinel Node

15 Problem: Identification of patients 80% of patients undergoing ELND had negative nodes Others have concomitant systemic spread not cured by ELND Only a subset can benefit from nodal surgery

27 Selection for SLN: Thick Melanoma? Overall Survival

28 Melanoma-specific Survival Thin Melanoma?

29 Node-Positive Thin Melanoma: Outcomes

30 Thin Melanoma SLN predictors Problems: SLN population is selected SLN has false negatives SLN has shorter follow up Use clinical nodal recurrence instead

33 CLND: Rationale and Data

34 MSLT2: Is CLND necessary in SN(+) LN basins? 79-88% of patients have Negative NSN nodes in CLND specimen MSLT-I JWCI Cochran # SN(+) Stain CLND(+) n (%) H&E H&E IHC 22 (11.8%) 39 (12.1%) 19 (21.1%) NSN(-) % 88% 88% 79%

35 Equipoise: Advantages Potential removal of more cancer (10-20%) Complete Staging Information Clinical trial eligibility? Disadvantages Additional surgery Larger incision JP drain Potential complications: Lymphedema Disease may already be systemic Ultrasound may pick up any recurrence at an early time point

36 Is CLND necessary in SN(+) LN basins? RFS MSS Multivariable: HR 1.51, p=0.09

37 JWCI Retro Data

38 DeCOG Trial Randomized 1:1 to CLND or observation Powered to detect 10% absolute survival difference with 80% power No Head/Neck Melanomas Median Breslow 2.4 mm About 2/3 of patients SLN disease <1 mm

39

40 DeCOG Trial: Discussion/Conclusions Better nodal recurrence rate (14.6 vs 8.3%) Not better MSS Based on our findings, complete lymphadenectomy cannot be recommended in melanoma patients with micrometastases. Difficult recruitment - High refusal/dropout Did not achieve target accrual -Decreased statistical power Follow up <3 years

41 MSLT-II and MILND

42 MSLT II: Trial Design Melanoma >1.2 mm or > Clark IV, n=3500 LM/SL: standard and molecular assessment Melanoma: + SLN (Outside Center) n= Observation Randomization n=1926 Stratification: MSLT1 Center Breslow Ulceration SLN H&E vs. PCR Immediate CLND Nodal Ultrasound Recur No Recur Observation Delayed CLND Observation
