          Nigel,

          That's a Roman numeral II (for "2", not "11"), which might help the explanation.  It's the second long-term (10 year) clinical trial studying sentinel node biopsy and ultrasound monitoring vs. complete lymphadenectomy.  It stands for "Multicenter Selective Lymphadenectomy Trial II", the trial information is here:

          http://www.clinicaltrials.gov/show/NCT00297895

          I think the study is only halfway done, but the early results are often discussed in the ongoing debate about the benefit of complete lymphadenectomy.
