Ultrasonography and CT beat physical exam for nodal metastasis detection in patients with high-risk skin cancer but show poor sensitivity in immunosuppressed patients.

Scientists say they have developed an artificial lymph node with the potential to treat cancer, according to a new study in mice and human cells. Johns Hopkins Medicine scientists say they have ...

The research group of prof. Sanjiv Luther at the department of immunobiology of the University of Lausanne has discovered ...

A research team led by The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) has developed a pioneering artificial ...

When the bladder is surgically removed (an operation called radical cystectomy) to treat bladder cancer, surgeons also remove nearby lymph nodes, small glands that are part of the immune system. This ...

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 ...

Adequate lymph node yield for patients with papillary thyroid cancer is associated with longer operations, longer hospitalization, and higher risk of recurrent laryngeal nerve injury and hypocalcemia, ...

University of Illinois researchers have created a new way to detect cancer in lymph nodes using ultraviolet and infrared ...

Sentinel lymph node biopsy has replaced traditional axillary dissection, minimizing lymphedema risk in breast cancer surgery. The procedure targets the first draining lymph nodes, reducing unnecessary ...
