Abstract:
ObjectiveTo study the relationship between the expression of carbohydrate antigen 72-4(CA72-4) in pathology negative lymph nodes from patients with gastric carcinoma and micrometastases. MethodsA total of 385 perigastric negative lymph nodes from 65 patients were immunohistochemically stained with tumor-associated glycoprotein by S-P. ResultsThe lymphatic micrometastases of gastric carcinoma were identified in 14 of 65 patients (21.5%) and in 26 of 385 negative-nodes (6.8%). The incidence of micrometastases was significantly higher in patients with diffuse type than intestinal type(35.5% vs. 8.8%,P
