Similar things are occurring here in Illinois, but my question is what
control procedures being used by the OR staff (or others people) do you
typically encounter with the removed tissues.  Its my understanding that the
pathology lab is going to get their hands on this material relatively soon
afterwards to do the ever important evaluation of the type of cancer
involved?  Depending on the extent of incorporation into the nodes and the
initial injection amount I assume a non-trivial dose could be involved to
the pathology staff.

Do you have any more information?
