## Abstract Staging by sentinel node (SN) biopsy is the standard procedure for clinically node‐negative breast cancer patients. Intra‐operative analysis of the SN allows immediate axillary lymph node (ALN) dissection in SN positive patients, but a quick, reliable and reproducible method is lacking.

## Abstract About 10–15% of patients with cervical cancer suffer from recurrence despite histologically negative lymph nodes (pN0). Occult micrometastases or small tumour cell clusters may contribute to disease outcome. The aim of this study was to compare at the RNA level 2 known tumour‐associated
Human papillomavirus (HPV) 16 is most prevalent in cenical cancers and also persists in metastases. We examined HPV 16-DNA-positive primary cancers and several lymph nodes from each of 14 patients to evaluate the use of HPV16 D N A as a diagnostic marker for the detection of early node involvement.
## Abstract The reverse transcriptase‐polymerase chain reaction (RT‐PCR) technique is a tool capable of detecting minute quantities of circulating tumor cell‐derived transcripts. Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is a rapidly growing tumor of epithelial origin and high metastatic potential. The aim of
