## 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

## Abstract Sentinel lymph nodes (SLN) isolated in 40 patients of breast carcinoma (stage T~1~/T~2~) were evaluated intraoperatively by imprint cytology and frozen section. Rapid immunohistochemistry (IHC) was done in cases where both imprint smears and frozen sections were negative for any metasta
## 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
