Brief Summary  
  • The study will be conducted in the Department of Pathology, Rohilkhand Medical College and Hospital, Bareilly after taking approval from Institutional Ethics Committee.
  • The recieved specimen will be subjected to gross and microscopic examination as per standard protocol.
  • The largest lymph node will be identified and measured.
  • Lymph node <5mm will be submitted as whole and those with size >5mm will be bisected
    into two halves and submitted in one cassette.
  • Paraffin embedded tissues (4-5 micron) will be cut and stained by Hematoxylin and Eosin
    stain. 
  • After staining slide will be subjected to microscopic examination and decision for step serial sectioning will be taken as under:-
  • In the microscopy cases with largest lymph node identified as positive but ENE negative will be subjected to step serial sectioning to identify ENE.
  • Those lymph node which are identified as node negative on routine H&E staining ie NO will be further taken up for step serial sectioning to look for micrometastasis and ENE involvement by two independent pathologist.
  • Serial microsections each measuring 4-5 micro meter will be retained every 100 micrometer till the tissue is completely exhausted.
