## 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.

## 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
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,
Sentinel lymph node (SLN) biopsy for the treatment of ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) is not necessary and generally should be limited to those patients with a core needle biopsy diagnosis of DCIS who are undergoing mastectomy. Used in this way, SLN biopsy will spare the majority of patients with oc
