## Abstract Immunocytochemical (ICC) detection of disseminated tumor cells (DTC) in bone marrow (BM) in early breast cancer is an independent prognostic factor. The significance of circulating tumor cells (CTC) in peripheral blood (PB) needs further exploration and comparison to DTC detection. PB a
## Abstract ## BACKGROUND Sentinel lymph node (SLN) biopsy is a new standard of care for patients with breast carcinoma, and allows enhanced pathologic analysis with serial sections and immunohistochemical (IHC) staining for cytokeratins to be performed on a routine basis. However, the significanc
## Abstract The concept of sentinel lymph node biopsy in breast cancer surgery relates to the fact that the tumor drains in a logical way via the lymphatic system, from the first to upper levels. Therefore, (1) the first lymph node met (the sentinel node) will most likely be the first one affected
