Scientific Abstract

Protocols for detection of disseminated cancer cells (DCCs) in the lymph node (LN) need to be harmonized. Therefore, immunocytology vs. conventional ultrastaging will be compared and additional methods for isolation of DCCs for subsequent molecular analysis will be tested. Correlation of morphology with DCC-density and ploidy will be examined. The prognostic impact of the morphology of LN metastases will be investigated in archival cases. Further, DCCs in the neoadjuvant setting will be studied.
