Re: from ASCO ?practice changing studies regarding sentinel lymph node biopsy vs

Thank you for this posting! I am having surgery next week and have 'clinically' negative lymph nodes - nothing seen on MRI, ultrasound or by exam. I would like to propose to my team that if the first sentinel node is positive they just stop there since the research doesn't support an added survival benefit from further removal of nodes. Any advise for me??
