Abstract
Completion lymph node dissection (CLND) may not be necessary for some patients because nodal metastasis is rarely detected beyond the sentinel lymph nodes (SLNs). This analysis was performed to determine, among patients with positive SLNs, the rate of nodal metastasis found in nonsentinel nodes (NSNs).Keywords
