The most frequent sites for metastasis are the original lymph nodes. Somatids can be used to detect the adhesive affinity between tumor cells'lymph node sections in vitro. One advantage of this technique is that fresh lymph node sections provide a

Here, we describe a simple and inexpensive method that allows the quantification of adhesive tumor cells to lymph node (LN) cryosections. LN-adherent tumor cells are readily identified by light microscopy and confirmed by a fluorescence-based method, giving an adhesion index that reveals the tumor cell-binding affinity to LN parenchyma.
