I’m curious about how a pathologist can analyze a lymph node without it being removed first. I’d like to understand this process. Is it done by needle biopsy or similar?

Hey ctl, as in my case, he probably took out the first “bullseye” node, and finding it clear, made the call that if IT was clear, the others further down had to be.
I certainly understand the logic behind it and perhaps the custom of removing so many nodes is a throwback to an earlier protocol🤞
