abstract = {Objective: A lot of 3715 resected lymph nodes from 350 stage 1 cancer patients, including 94 NSCLC, 112 breast carcinoma, 115 esophageal carcinoma, and 29 vulvar carcinoma cases, were re-examined by immunohistochemistry.
Methods: Using monoclonal anticytokeratins (AEI/AE3), anti-EMA, and polyclonal antikeratin antibodies, the tumor cell micrometastases were detected to obtain more reliable information concerning the nodal status.
Results: Nodal occult metastases were observed in 113 Of 350 (32.5%) patients and in 203 of 3715 (5.5%) nodes. The positive rates in both patients and nodes were higher in NSCLC than in others (P},
