Melanoma Institute Australia's Sentinel Node Metastasis Risk Calculator
June 17, 2020
The Melanoma Institute Australia has published a new online calculator that predicts the risk that a patient’s primary melanoma has spread to nearby lymph nodes. The calculator will enable you to have more informed discussions with your patients based on each individual’s percentage risk of having a positive sentinel lymph node.
Using robust data from Melanoma Institute Australia’s extensive database, built up over a 50-year period, and thanks to the generosity of their patients, the Sentinel Node Metastasis Risk Calculator is now available free for clinicians to use in their practices.
Melanoma Institute Australia hope this calculator is a useful clinical tool to risk stratify your patients and inform discussions about their best management plan.
