First paragraph (this article has no abstract)

Frequency and clinical relevance of micrometastasis (pN1 mi) and disseminated tumor cells (pN0i+) in carcinoma patients are controversially debated or unclear. Thus we immunohistochemically examined the lymph nodes of 422 pN0 classified patients (conventional light microscopy) between November 2004 and March 2006, using the cytokeratin (CK)-22 antibody.
