The use of ultrasound combined with ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration biopsy (UGFAB) of supraclavicular lymph nodes in the pretreatment staging of 37 patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the esophagus is described. All patients underwent computed tomography (CT) scans of the chest and the

## Abstract ## Background The aim of this study was to validate sentinel node biopsy for axillary staging after the initial learning phase, and to analyse factors associated with false-negative biopsies. ## Methods Some 675 patients, who had standard sentinel node biopsy followed by level I and
To determine the incidence of scalene node metastasis from carcinoma of the cervix uteri, all patients with advanced carcinoma of the cervix who underwent scalene node biopsy as part of a pretreatment evaluation at the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics have been reviewed. In 40 patients, lef
## 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
