Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is a rare cutaneous skin lesion with a variable but often aggressive clinical course. Patient survival correlates with nodal status and the presence of distant metastases. The histologic status of the sentinel lymph node consistently correlates with the incidence of regio
## Abstract ## BACKGROUND Sentinel lymph node (SLN) biopsy is a new standard of care for patients with breast carcinoma, and allows enhanced pathologic analysis with serial sections and immunohistochemical (IHC) staining for cytokeratins to be performed on a routine basis. However, the significanc
## Background: There are no data available from randomized controlled trials that compare the efficacy of sentinel lymph node (sln) biopsy with level i/ii axillary lymph node dissection (alnd) in patients with breast carcinoma. we performed a formal decision analysis to determine whether sln biopsy
