## Background: Lymph node metastasis is a well known feature of poor prognosis in patients with esophageal adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma. however, a significant proportion of apparently lymph node negative patients die early of metastatic disease. the aim of this study was to determine

W e recently read the article by Glickman et al. regarding the prognostic significance of lymph node micrometastasis in esophageal carcinoma patients. 1 Indeed, it addresses a very interesting topic, and we would like to make a few observations. First, as stated in the article, the surgical procedur
## BACKGROUND. Routine histologic examination of axillary sentinel lymph nodes predicts axillary lymph node status and may spare patients with breast carcinoma axillary lymph node dissection. To avoid the need for two separate surgical sessions, the results of sentinel lymph node examination shoul
## BACKGROUND. Lymph node metastasis is the oldest and most reliable prognostic indicator in breast carcinoma. In the absence of tumor metastasis, draining lymph nodes can undergo hyperplasia, resulting in increases in the number and size of detectable lymph nodes. The prognostic value of this proc
