thyroidectomy is the appropriate treatment for the primary tumor, accompanied by a central node dissection. Calcitonin levels are virtually always elevated in these patients. Classification and methods of central neck lymph node dissection have been described by

endometrial cancer was introduced by Burke et al 6 in 1996, but has only recently gained popularity. The appeal of SLN mapping lies in the possible avoidance of “overstaging” via lymph node dissection of normal/negative nodes and enhanced precision in finding
