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.

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 ...

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 ...

Scientists at McGill University and the Rosalind and Morris Goodman Cancer Institute have developed a new way to deliver ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
