Range	Table - link
Organism	Human Homo sapiens
Reference	Frankel TL, Griffith KA, Lowe L, Wong SL, Bichakjian CK, Chang AE, Cimmino VM, Bradford CR, Rees RS, Johnson TM, Sabel MS. Do micromorphometric features of metastatic deposits within sentinel nodes predict nonsentinel lymph node involvement in melanoma?Ann Surg Oncol. 2008 Sep15(9):2403-11PubMed ID18626721
Method	A review of the Institutional Review Board (IRB)-approved melanoma database was undertaken to identify all SLN positive patients with SLN micromorphometric features. Univariate logistic regression techniques were used to assess potential significant associations. Decision tree analysis was used to identify which features best predicted patients at low risk for harboring additional disease.
