Researchers have developed a new nanoparticle that can 'hitch a ride' on immune cells, or monocytes. Because of its tiny size, the particle can tag along directly into lymph nodes and help metastasis ...

Long-term survival after high-dose chemotherapy followed by peripheral stem cell rescue for high-risk locally advanced/inflammatory and metastatic breast cancer. Background: The Katz nomogram is an ...

Detection of tumor spread to lymph nodes is crucial to provide the best treatment to patients with cancer. Current imaging methods used for detecting lymph node metastases, however, are unreliable.

Reston, VA—Nearly 70 percent of breast cancer patients could find out if their cancer has spread to their lymph nodes without having to undergo an invasive sentinel node biopsy. New research published ...

The Chung Lab at USC has developed a nanoparticle that attaches to immune cells, allowing it to target lymph nodes—a vital indicator of cancer metastasis—and enhance MRI detection, potentially ...

The role of partial splenic embolization (PSE) in the management of chemotherapy-induced thrombocytopenia. Background: 20% of rectal cancer patients have metastatic lymph nodes outside the mesorectum ...

Lymph node metastasis occurs in "metastatic" lymph nodes, lymph nodes that contain cancer cells that have spread from elsewhere in the body. A part of the immune system, lymph nodes are tiny ...

The lymphatic system is a major part of the immune system. It’s made up of various lymph nodes and vessels. The human body has hundreds of lymph nodes throughout different locations in the body. The ...
