Would you consider lymph node basin radiation in a patient with upper extremity Merkel cell carcinoma with one positive SLN but with no other positive lymph nodes found on axillary dissection?

Yes. My preference would have been to obtain a PET, excise the positive node, and irradiate the axilla to reduce the risk of arm edema.
