The rationale for an observational approach is to avoid the morbidity of lymphadenectomy (specifically to avoid the possibility of
lymphedema) for two subsets of patients who never manifest isolated recurrence
in the lymph node basin: those who have no melanoma remaining
in the nodal basin and those who experience distant treatment failure at or before the time of nodal recurrence.
[6]
In the MSLT - 1 trial, patients with isolated nodal recurrence had more total lymph nodes involved by melanoma than patients randomized to SLN biopsy who had a positive biopsy (all of whom were to have CLND; an average of 3.2 lymph nodes involved with metastatic melanoma vs only 1.4 positive nodes, respectively; P <.0001), [2] and were more likely to meet established criteria for adjuvant radiation, [7] which further increases the risk of postoperative
lymphedema.
[6] Therefore, the benefit some patients may derive by avoidance of lymphadenectomy is counterbalanced by higher morbidity, including increased risk of moderate to severe
lymphedema and longer hospital stays
in the event that a delayed CLND is required following observation.
