What would be some of the things that you're like, okay, I can definitely do this, but now I need to step in if we're maybe screening a lymph node for cancer?
10:57
We'll often get associated tissues within which there are numerous lymph nodes.
11:03
And one of the more tedious aspects is we have to, one, grossly find and feel and identify all the lymph nodes in that specimen and then microscopically look at them all.
11:13
So once you get a tray of slides in your office and you look at the tumor and you assess all these different parameters and then you have...
11:21
Who knows? It could be 10, a dozen, 20 individual lymph nodes you need to check and make sure.
11:27
And then in the report, it'll say like zero of 20 lymph nodes involved by cancer.
11:33
And so that tends to be a little bit more of a tedious screen because you just have to look.
