Abstract | INTRODUCTION: AIM: METHODOLOGY: RESULTS:
Cytokeratin staining identified 15 positive nodes among the 239 HE-negative nodes from the 7 n0 cases and 8 positive nodes among the 718 HE-negative nodes from the 23 n1 cases. Among the 7 n0 cases, 5 (71.4%) had positive n1 nodes and 2 (28.3%) also had positive n2 nodes. Among the 23 n1 cases, 4 (17.4%) had positive n2 nodes. Patients with micrometastases in n2 nodes died within 25 months. CONCLUSION:
