Argyrophilic nucleolar organizer regions (AgNORs) were evaluated in 95 samples from primary esophageal squamous cell carcinomas and 75 samples from metastatic lymph nodes. The number of AgNORs per nucleus in primary tumors with positive nodes (n = 53, 6.1 2 1.8) was greater than that in primary tumo
Number of argyrophilic nucleolar organizer regions is a good indicator of lymph node metastasis in patients with esophageal carcinoma

## BACKGROUND. The majority of patients with thyroid microcarcinoma have a favorable prognosis. However, some patients may die from this tumor. Although the incidence of microcarcinoma is high, to the authors' knowledge no histologic risk factors have been identified. The objective of this study wa
## BACKGROUND. To evaluate the immunologic activity of regional lymph nodes, the phenotype of lymphocytes and the functional expression of cell adhesion molecules (CAMs) on lymph node lymphocytes (LNL-: uninvolved, LNL+: involved) were investigated in patients with gastrointestinal carcinoma. ##
