PET/MRI outperformed diffusion-weighted MRI (DWI-MRI) for detecting lymph node metastases in the staging of head and neck cancer patients, according to a study presented November 25 at the ...

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 ...

Prognostic value of pretreatment 18F-FDG PET-CT for nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients. This is an ASCO Meeting Abstract from the 2017 ASCO Annual Meeting I. This abstract does not include a full text ...

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 ...

Remote evaluation of NAVIFY Oncology Hub using clinical simulation. Integrating technology to support data management abstraction of adverse events (AE) and concomitant medications (ConMed) from the ...

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 ...

Routinely removing lymph nodes in the neck of patients with thyroid cancer may help prevent the disease from recurring, according to a new study (Surgery, December 2011, Vol. 150:6, pp. 1048-1057).

Cancer that starts in the lymph nodes is lymphoma. Cancer may also spread from other areas of the body to various lymph nodes, including the neck. Swollen lymph nodes are usually due to a cause other ...

Swollen lymph nodes in your neck often mean that your body is fighting an infection. See a doctor if you have painful, swollen lymph nodes or if they persist for weeks or worsen. You can treat swollen ...

Lymph node metastasis occurs in "metastatic" lymph nodes, lymph nodes that have been infected by cancer from elsewhere in the body. A part of the immune system, lymph nodes are tiny ovals placed ...
