## 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

## Abstract ## Background The role of routine central compartment neck dissection in papillary thyroid cancer is controversial. ## Methods A retrospective medical record review was conducted of 83 patients with papillary thyroid cancer who received either total or hemithyroidectomy and central c
Axillary lymph node dissection for staging the axilla in breast carcinoma patients is associated with considerable morbidity, such as edema of the arm, pain, sensory disturbances, impairment of arm mobility, and shoulder stiffness. Sentinel lymph node biopsy electively removes the first lymph node,
## 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
## Abstract ## BACKGROUND The authors evaluated the accuracy of sentinel lymph node biopsy in predicting lymph node status for patients with early cervical carcinoma. In particular, the authors set out to determine the falseβnegative rate associated with sentinel lymph node biopsy in this setting.
