Abstract
Sentinel lymph node sampling has become an alternative to axillary lymph node dissection to provide prognostic and treatment information in breast cancer patients. The role of immunohistochemistry has yet to be established. A total of 241 sentinel lymph nodes (in 270 slides) from 91 patients with invasive carcinoma (73 ductal, 9 lobular, 8 mixed lobular/ductal, 1 NOS) were studied for presence of macrometastases (> 0.2 cm), identified in hematoxylin and eosin sections, and occult metastases (micrometastases [≤ 0.2 cm], clusters of cells, isolated carcinoma cells), identified only by immunohistochemistry. Intraoperative touch preparations, frozen sections, seven hematoxylin and eosin levels (L AE
