## RESULTS. Metastases were confirmed in 230 lymph nodes (9.4%) stained with H & E, moto, Japan. and an additional 201 lymph nodes (17.6%) had micrometastases identified only by immunostaining for cytokeratin (197 lymph nodes) and/or CEA (66). Carcinomas with micrometastases had significantly wors

## Abstract ## BACKGROUND Micrometastases consisting of one to a few cells in lymph nodes resected during gastrectomy are difficult to identify using conventional hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) stains. It has been shown that immunostaining for cytokeratins is effective in detecting lymph node microme
## BACKGROUND. The objective of this study was to define the sensitivity and clinical implications of the immunohistochemical detection of lymph node micrometastases in patients with gallbladder carcinoma (GBC). ## METHODS. The authors examined a total of 385 regional lymph nodes taken from 26
