RESUMEN
La biopsia del ganglio centinela continúa siendo utilizada para la terapéutica del melanoma, sin fundamento científico comprobado. Los estudios prospectivos-randomizados han fracasado en demostrar beneficio alguno en el punto clave de los mismos, conocer si aumenta la sobrevida global del paciente con melanoma invasor. Se revisan algunos trabajos que demuestran que el punto de vista contrario a su uso rutinario, es el correcto con el fin de ofrecer al dermatólogo, amplitud de criterio en el momento de discutir con el paciente dicho estudio.
ABSTRACT
Sentinel node biopsy and selective lymph node dissection are still a frequent tool for therapeutic management of melanoma without scientific support. Prospective-randomized trials have failed to show overall survival - the main goal in such trials in invasive melanoma. Some articles proving that the opposite point of view to its standard use is correct have been reviewed, in order to offer to the dermatologist the different alternatives so as to discuss such procedures with amplitude of criteria at the time of discussing such procedure with the potential patient.
