Early detection of lymph node metastases can shape treatment decisions and improve outcomes in high-risk skin cancer. A recent multicenter study highlights a clear shift in how clinicians may approach diagnosis. Imaging tools such as ultrasonography and contrast-enhanced CT scans are proving far more effective than routine physical exams in identifying nodal spread, especially during initial staging.
