## Background: The purpose of this study was to evaluate lymphatic drainage patterns of head and neck cutaneous melanoma observed on preoperative lymphoscintigraphy and sentinel lymph node biopsy (slnb) and determine discordancy from clinically predicted lymphatic drainage patterns. ## Methods: W
risk cutaneous melanoma (level 111, >1.5 mm; 21.0 mm with ulceration). Frequently the primary lesion is in an ambiguous lymphatic drainage site on the trunk, pelvic and shoulder girdles, and head and neck area. Lymphoscintigrams were performed by a circumferential intradermal injection of the biopsy
## Abstract The G101W founder mutation is the most common __CDKN2A__ mutation in Italy, Spain, and France. As the background of modifying genes, environmental exposures, and sun behavior vary across countries, studying G101W carriers from distinct countries offers a unique opportunity to evaluate p
