## 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 ## BACKGROUND Sentinel lymph node (SLN) sampling is used to predict axillary lymph node (AxLN) metastasis in patients with breast carcinoma; AxLN sampling can be avoided in SLNβnegative patients. Multistep sectioning and immunohistochemistry are reported to increase the sensitivity of
## Abstract Intraoperative evaluation of sentinel lymph nodes (SLNs) in patients with breast carcinoma allows surgeons to complete axillary lymph node dissection in one procedure if any SLN shows metastasis. The accuracy of intraoperative pathological diagnosis is critical for decisionβmaking. The
