This is further complicated by challenges in distinguishing pure from mixed histologic subtypes. We evaluated pooled SLN positivity rates for both subtypes to clarify the utility of SLNB in the workup of patients with DM.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Two databases (PubMed and Ovid MEDLINE) were searched through July 2025. We included studies in which at least a subset of patients with DM underwent SLNB and SLNB positivity rates could be ascertained; large registry-based studies were excluded. Our primary outcome was the pooled sentinel lymph node positivity rate for patients with DM. We performed a subgroup analysis to determine pooled SLN positivity by histologic subtype.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      We included 18 studies with 1671 patients with DM. A random-effects meta-analysis demonstrated a pooled SLN positivity rate of 9% (95% CI, 7\u201312%).
