1. The hazard ratio for recurrence or death comparing sentinel node biopsy only to completion axillary lymph node dissection was non-significant (0.89) and below the noninferiority margin. 2. The overall survival rates at 5 years were similar between both groups, 92.9% vs 92%. Evidence Rating Level: 1 (Excellent) Study Rundown: Previous studies have challenged the necessity
