Lymph nodes dissected en bloc in cancer surgery are very important in the examination of regional lymph nodes. The modified clearing method which involves the procedure of fixation, dehydration, removal of fat and xylene clearing has been improved as a clinical examination and applied to examination of regional lymph nodes in breast cancers. With respect to of lymph node the size, the frequency of diameters of 0.9 mm or less was 23/207 (11.1%) with clearing method and low 1/68 (1.5%) with palpation method, and also diameters of 1.0 mm to 1.9 mm were 36/207 (17.4%) with clearing method and 8/68 (11.8%) with palpation method. It is evident that the modified clearing method can be used in the examination of the lymph nodes with very small diameters of around 1.0 mm which are detected with much difficulty by the palpation method. According to the diagram of regional lymph nodes distribution, the type of metastasis in the regional lymph node can be classified into the localized, diffused and intermediated types. Therefore, this method is reliable and useful in clinical examination.
