Fewer older women with early-stage, hormone receptor (HR)-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer are undergoing routine sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB), according to data that were presented at the ...

The effects of the extent of lymph node dissection during radical prostatectomy on prostate cancer survival outcomes have been unclear, pending long-term follow-up data from randomized controlled ...

A recent integrative analysis of single-cell sequencing and single-cell spatial mapping of lymph node metastasis in breast cancer reveals novel mechanisms of the metabolic-immune interaction that ...

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 ...

Breakthrough research presented at the 2026 Society of Thoracic Surgeons Annual Meeting shows that additional lymph node evaluation is needed during surgery for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) to ...

Caecal cancer and ascending colon cancer had slower rates of metastasis to main nodes compared with transverse colon cancer. Routine prophylactic extended lymphadenectomy for the superior mesenteric ...

In almost all solid tumors—i.e. cancers with a solid tissue structure—the detection of tumor cells in the lymph nodes is considered a decisive marker for the progression of the disease. Lymph node ...

Patients newly diagnosed with cancer typically focus on one question, eclipsing all others: "What is my prognosis?" Determining a cancer patient's prognosis - the likely course and outcome of their ...

Lymph nodes, hundreds of small structures located throughout the body, play a pivotal role in immunity, including anti-tumor immune responses. White blood cells, also known as lymphocytes, reside in ...
