Johns Hopkins Medicine 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. The newly developed lymph ...

Researchers have pinpointed changes in the structure of lymph nodes which could help identify people who are at higher or ...

Removing lymph nodes during cancer surgery has saved countless lives in many tumor types. Yet recent research is challenging parts of this long-standing practice. Imagine your body's immune defenses ...

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 ...

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 ...

The optimal extent of lymph node dissection in colon cancer surgery is specified in guidelines based on the results of past analyses. However, with advances in surgical techniques and ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Optimal management for isolated para-aortic lymph node (PALN) recurrence from colorectal cancer (CRC) remains undefined. We evaluated the efficacy and safety of radiotherapy (RT) for this indication.

Researchers have found changes in the structure of lymph nodes which could help identify people at a higher or lower risk of breast cancer spreading. A study of 331 lymph node samples from people with ...
