"Our research suggests that removing lymph nodes during cancer surgery, a common practice to prevent tumor spread, may inadvertently reduce the effectiveness of treatments, such as checkpoint blockade ...

Breast cancer is able to modify the lymphatic vessels through which it travels to the draining lymph nodes. From there, it can then spread to other parts of the body. A new finding by Finnish ...

N1 Single lymph node metastasis, 2 cm or less in greatest dimension N1 Single regional lymph node metastasis in the true pelvis (hypogastric, obturator, external iliac or presacral lymph node) N2 ...

Lymph nodes are one of the body's first lines of defense against disease. Immune cells are dispatched from these biological police stations to fight off intruders. But somehow, lymph nodes are also ...

Results from the PHENIX-I trial support skipping pelvic lymphadenectomy in women with early cervical cancer who have a negative sentinel lymph node biopsy. Omitting pelvic lymphadenectomy in these ...

Stage 3 non-small cell lung cancer has spread to nearby tissues and lymph nodes but not to more distant tissues. Most people with this stage have lung cancer symptoms. Treatment can depend on several ...

A team of researchers, led by the Peter Doherty Institute for Infection and Immunity (Doherty Institute), explored the cellular and molecular interactions revealing how lymph nodes play a crucial role ...
