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 ...

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.

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 ...

Addition of the contrast agent gadolinium during magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for primary tumor assessment improved accuracy for detecting lymph node metastases, according to a new study. Addition ...

For women whose breast cancer has spread to their lymph nodes, a magnetic resonance imaging scan could replace exploratory surgery as the method for determining whether those women need radiation ...

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 ...

New research shows lymph nodes aren’t just cancer bystanders, they’re the command centers fueling immune attacks. Surgically removing them along with tumors may weaken treatment, while preserving them ...
