Abstract | AIMS AND BACKGROUND: METHODS: RESULTS: Thirty samples (52.6%) revealed a polyclonal rearrangement of T-cell receptor gamma. In the NO cases, only 5 samples revealed a T-cell receptor gamma molecular assessment; in N1/N2 cases, 25 revealed a T-cell receptor gamma molecular assessment. CONCLUSIONS: The results showed statistical significance between the presence of T-cell receptor gamma and N1/N2 stage lymph nodes (P = 0.001).
