abstract = {Objective: To study micrometastases in lymph nodes from patients with node-negative gastric carcinoma by routine histologic examination and discuss their prognostic significance and the relationship between micrometastases and each of the clinicopathologic factors.
Methods: A total of 1245 perigastric lymph nodes from 105 patients with node-negative gastric carcinoma was inununohistochemically detected using a monoclonal antibody against low molecular weight cytokeratin AEm. The characteristics of the micrometastases, their related factors and effect on patients' survival after surgery Were analysed and tested with statistical methods.
Results: Micrometastases were observed in 81 lymph nodes (6.5%) of 31 patients (29.5%). The incidence of lymph node micrometastases was significantly higher in the diffuse type (41.5%) than in the intestinal type gastric carcinoma (17.6 %, P},
