Occult metastases in the sentinel lymph nodes of patients with early stage breast carcinoma

Thirty percent of lymph node negative patients with operable breast carcinoma experience disease recurrence within 10 years. Retrospective serial sectioning of axillary lymph nodes has revealed undetected metastases in 9–30% of these patients. These occult metastases have been shown to have an adverse effect on survival. Serial sectioning (SS) is impractical for all axillary lymph nodes harvested from Levels I and II, but it is feasible if applied only to sentinel lymph nodes.
