## BACKGROUND. Thirty percent of lymph node negative patients with operable breast carcinoma experience disease recurrence within 10 years. Retrospective serial sectioning of axillary lymph nodes has revealed undetected metastases in 9 -30% of these patients. These occult metastases have been show

## BACKGROUND. It remains controversial whether modified radical neck dissection (MRND) for patients with papillary thyroid carcinoma improves prognosis. However, it is highly probable that the incidence of local recurrence is reduced by lymph node dissection. Sentinel lymph node (SLN) biopsy (SLN
lymphadenectomies were performed because 1 patient had bilateral breast cancer; the sN was identified in 45/49 lymphadenectomies (92%). The sN was intraoperatively negative at frozen-section examination in 33 cases, and final histology confirmed the absence of metastases in 31/33 cases (94%), wherea
