Such a test might prove particularly helpful in determining what to do about the so-called micrometastases that pathologists are starting to discover in some women's lymph nodes. Once again, better detection techniques have revealed minute clumps of cancer--0.2 mm or 0.008 in. across--that are smaller than anyone had ever seen before...
