Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
RATIONALE: Studying protein expression in sentinel lymph node tissue from patients with cancer in the laboratory may help doctors identify and learn more about biomarkers related to cancer. It may also help the study of cancer in the future. PURPOSE: This laboratory study is evaluating OX-40 protein expression in the sentinel lymph nodes of patients with cancer.

Arms and outcomes
Arms (0)
[]Primary outcomes (2)
- measure
- OX-40 expression
- timeFrame
- During immunostaining
- description
- The first ten cases will be reviewed to assess the spectrum of OX-40 expression and to devise a semiquantitative scoring system. Each slide will be scanned in its entirety and then scored according to representative views with the greatest expression of immunostaining
- measure
- Disease-free survival
- timeFrame
- During data analysis
- description
- Kaplan-Maier method will be used to estimate the disease-free survival, and a log-rank test will be used to compare the disease-free survival between high vs. low OX-40 groups
