## Abstract ## Background and Objectives Sentinel node (SN) biopsy is a new standard of care for axillary node staging in patients with earlyβstage, clinically nodeβnegative breast cancer. A second operation can be avoided when the results are available intraoperatively. However, there is no stand
## Abstract ## Background. Nodal status is an important prognostic factor in oral cancer. Sentinel node studies may enable accurate identification of highβrisk nodes without a formal neck dissection. Imprint cytology is an emerging tool to assist in the rapid intraoperative detection of nodal meta
## BACKGROUND. The current report provides results from a large retrospective analysis of intraoperative imprint cytology performed on axillary sentinel lymph nodes (IIC N ) removed over the course of 2137 breast surgeries (4905 lymph nodes). It is hoped that these results may serve as benchmarks
