Reply to sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) plus wide local excision vs. wide local excision alone for primary cutaneous melanoma: a systematic review and meta-analysis – SLNB is not associated with a significantly better outcome in melanoma survival

Abstract

with interest I read the review about sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) and wide local excision (WLE) compared to WLE alone for primary cutaneous melanoma written by Santos-Juanes J. et. al..¹ Authors took a heavy burden of work, however I worry that the authors took prematurely conclusions and their analysis leads to inadequate reasoning for a survival benefit in the SLNB group against the evidence of the data.
