CAR-T cell therapy research

A 49-year-old woman was seen in consultation for management of cutaneous melanoma. A pigmented lesion on her upper arm had been excised at another facility, and a superficial spreading malignant melanoma, 0.91 mm thick, with a vertical growth phase was diagnosed. Sentinel lymph-node biopsy disclosed a nest of tumor cells in one of two lymph nodes. A decision on management was made.
