ABSTRACT

Objetivo: Determinar la tasa de recurrencia regional en pacientes diagnosticados con melanoma maligno cutáneo localizado en tronco y extremidades, con una biopsia de ganglio centinela negativa. Métodos: Serie de casos. Se revisaron los registros de pacientes estadio clínico IB, IIA, IIB, IIIC tratados con biopsia de ganglio centinela entre enero de 2000 y diciembre de 2007. Se realizaron análisis descriptivos y se analizó la supervivencia mediante el método de Kaplan-Meier. Resultados: Se incluyó a 170 pacientes. La mediana de seguimiento fue de 21,5 meses, con una tasa de recurrencia regional del 11,76%. La supervivencia global a 24 meses en ganglio centinela negativo fue del 100%. Conclusiones: La tasa de recurrencia regional en la serie analizada de pacientes con melanoma y ganglio linfático centinela negativo se halla dentro de lo reportado en la literatura, aunque el tiempo de seguimiento es relativamente corto.


Objective: To determine the regional recurrence rate in patients diagnosed with cutaneous malignant melanoma in the trunk and extremities, and with negative sentinel node biopsy. Methods: A case series was utilized to review patients with clinical registries IB, IIA, IIB, IIIC treated with sentinel node biopsy between January, 2000 and December, 2007. Descriptive analysis was performed and survival analysis carried out with the Kaplan-Meier method. Results: The study included 170 patients. Median follow-up was 21.5 months, with regional recurrence rate at 11.76%. Overall survival rate at 24 months for negative sentinel node was 100%. Conclusions: The regional recurrence rate in the series analyzed of patients with melanoma and negative sentinel lymph node is situated within that reported in the literature; however, follow up is relatively short.
