[OA-22] The adjusted protocol in cryosection of axillary sentinel lymph node reduces the overall diagnostic discordance

The cryosection of axillary sentinel lymph node is usefol for intraoperative decision in breast cancer patients. However, the consequence from cryosection-permanent section discordance, mainly from sampling error, still occurs. The aim of this study was to evaluate discordant rate, as well as its cause, of the adjusted protocol for cryosection in axillary sentinel lymph node compared to the traditional protocol. ...
