ASO Author Reflections: Benefit of Adjuvant Radiotherapy for Clinical Outcome in Patients with Soft Tissue Sarcoma.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Guidelines recommend sentinel lymph node dissection (SLND) for patients with clinical stage I/IIA/IIB breast cancer; however, a significant fraction of patients do not undergo this procedure. We sought to identify factors associated with noncompliance with the SLND benchmark in early-stage breast cancer. MA...
