A prospective, multicenter analysis of the integrated 31-gene expression profile test for sentinel lymph node biopsy (i31-GEP for SLNB) test demonstrates reduced number of unnecessary SLNBs in patients with cutaneous melanoma [PDF]
Background National Comprehensive Cancer Network guidelines recommend sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) for patients with > 10% risk of positivity, consider SLNB with 5–10% risk, and foregoing with

Introduction: National guidelines for cutaneous melanoma suggest avoiding sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) if the risk of SLN positivity is <5% (T1a with no high-risk features), considering SLNB if the risk is 5-10% (T1a with additional high-risk features (T1aHR) and T1b), and offering SLNB if the risk is >10% (T2-T4). Because most patients (88%)

The Integrated i31-GEP Test Outperforms the MSKCC Nomogram at Predicting SLN Status in Melanoma Patients [PDF]
Sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) for patients with cutaneous melanoma is primarily a prognostic procedure that broadly identifies patients who may have disease progression and may warrant additional intervention. However, 88% of patients undergoing SLNB receive a negative result and of those, some will succumb to their disease. One clinical utility of

An affine translation surface is a graph of a function introduced by Liu and Yu in 2013. The article considers the spacelike affine translation surfaces in the Minkowski space with density establishing the Lagrange’s equation type for -maximal surface, classifying -maximal spacelike affine translation surfaces.

Integrating the melanoma 31-gene expression profile test with clinical and pathologic features can provide personalized precision estimates for sentinel lymph node positivity: an independent performance cohort [PDF]
Introduction Up to 88% of sentinel lymph node biopsies (SLNBs) are negative. The 31-gene expression profile (31-GEP) test can help identify patients with a low risk of SLN metastasis who can safely forego SLNB.

I31. Experiences of Being a Patient and Public Involvement Representative for Clinical Rheumatology Research [PDF]
The aim of this session is for post-graduate students to network with peers and senior researchers, in order to discuss their work with an academic unfamiliar with the project (who will ask those innocent but important questions). The students will be able to access advice and ideas to help them in their project and their career planning. It is through

Introduction: Sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) is a prognostic procedure that can help guide surveillance and treatment management plans for patients with cutaneous melanoma. However, up to 88% of SLNBs are negative, suggesting that most patients may not require SLNB.

Introduction: Current American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC 8th edition) guidelines in patients with cutaneous melanoma (CM) separate them into risk categories based on the pathological tumor data of Breslow thickness, ulceration status, and sentinel lymph node status.
