As many as 30% of patients with breast cancer who have undergone curative surgery and show no evidence of locoregional or distant disease still have recurrent disease over 5-10 years [ 1 2 ] . Some of these treatment failures may be attributed to residual disease in the breast or axillary lymph nodes [ 3 ] . The limitation of routine histopathologic examination of the tumor margins and the dissected lymph node specimen is well known [ 4 ] . Contemporary methods of detection, including computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, bone scintigraphy and flow cytometry, all have limited sensitivity and specificity [ 5 6 ] .

Epithelial cells have been proposed to be active participants rather than passive targets in the chronic immune response in 1°SS but further studies are needed to establish the role of liver epithelial cells in the pathogenesis of hepatic damage in this disease, including the analysis of HLA expression and cytokine secretion pattern in these cells.
