Improving Risk Stratification for SLNB in Elderly Patients With Melanoma: The SENTINOLD Nomogram

Key Points

• To evaluate the effectiveness of the SENTINOLD nomogram in predicting sentinel lymph node positivity among elderly melanoma patients.
• Developed a nomogram based on population-specific data.
• Assessed user-friendliness and reliability of the tool.
• Discussed implications for SLNB decision-making in older adults.
• The SENTINOLD nomogram reliably predicts sentinel lymph node positivity.
• It is tailored for elderly patients with melanoma, enhancing individual risk assessment.
