Background and purpose: After reports that complete lymph node dissection (CLND) did not improve melanoma-specific survival of sentinel (SLN)-positive patients, the use CLND has diminished but it is still carried out for selected patients. We sought to assess differences in Health-Related Quality Life (HRQoL) tertiary care costs among Finnish Multicenter Selective Lymphadenectomy Trial (MSLT)-II-patients. Patients/materials methods: A total 52 patients randomized 55 nodal observation...
