Researchers find two biomarkers with potential to predict breast cancer spread
Expression of two different proteins taken from primary tumor biopsies is highly associated with spread of breast cancer to nearby lymph nodes, according to researchers who say this protein profile could help identify at an early stage those patients whose disease is likely to metastasize. view more (2006-12-18)
What is the function of lymph nodes?
If we imagine our immune system to be a police force for our bodies, then previous work has suggested that the Lymph nodes would be the best candidate structures within the body to act as police stations - the regions in which the immune response is organised. view more (2009-05-26)
D2 lymphadenectomy improves the long-term survival for patients with node-negative gastric cancer
Many studies favor an extended lymphadenectomy at the time of a potentially curative gastrectomy for node-positive gastric cancer, and the risk of long-term death tends to decrease when the number of resected lymph nodes increases to about 25. view more (2009-08-27)
A diagnosis of triple-negative breast cancer doesn't always mean cancer spread
Triple-negative breast cancers are a heterogeneous group and may not always be associated with lymph node spread, a new study shows. view more (2008-04-14)
Sentinel lymph node biopsy is associated with breast cancer rates
The incidence of some early stage metastatic breast cancers is increasing, but this finding is likely explained by changes in clinical practice, according to a study published online June 26 in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute. view more (2007-06-27)
Less invasive methods may provide accurate means to determine lung cancer stage
An evaluation of several endoscopic biopsy methods suggests that a "minimally invasive" approach may accurately determine the stage of suspected lung cancer, according to a study in the February 6 issue of JAMA. view more (2008-02-06)
PET Scans Could Provide Insight Into HIV-1 Progression (pp 945, 959)
An article and a research letter in this week's issue of THE LANCET provide preliminary data suggesting that positron emission tomography (PET) scans could identify the effect of HIV-1 infection on the body's lymphatic system. Authors of the studies suggest that activation of specific lymph nodes could determine the stage of HIV-1 infection, with... view more... (2003-09-17)
Chicago team uses artificial intelligence to diagnose metastatic cancer
When doctors are managing care for women with breast cancer, the information available to them profoundly influences the type of care they recommend. view more (2009-07-28)
Biopsies of the internal mammary sentinel nodes may improve patients' chances of survival
Surgeons at a hospital in the Netherlands are pioneering the taking of biopsies from lymph nodes behind the sternum (breast bone) at the same time as they take the more usual biopsies of the lymph nodes under the armpits, the 3rd European Breast Cancer Conference in Barcelona heard today (Friday 22 March). Dr Fred van der Ent, a senior surgeon at... view more... (2002-03-20)
How 'memory' T cells curb the spread of viruses throughout the body
A scientific discovery by Fox Chase Cancer Center researchers helps explain how "memory" T cells protect the body from viral diseases. view more (2007-06-19)
Malaria Parasites Develop in Lymph Nodes
In the first quantitative, real-time imaging study of the travels of the malaria parasite Plasmodium through mammalian tissue, researchers at the Pasteur Institute in Paris found the parasites developing in an unexpected place: the lymph nodes. view more (2006-01-23)
Altering time of breast biopsy may improve mastectomy reconstruction process
Altering the standard step-by-step procedure that takes women facing a mastectomy from diagnosis to surgery to reconstruction can improve the process and help in determining if immediate reconstruction is the best course of action. view more (2005-10-11)
Molecular imaging enables earlier, individualized treatment of thyroid cancer
In a study to determine the diagnostic value of molecular imaging in nodal staging of patients with thyroid cancer, researchers were able for the first time to accurately distinguish between cancerous cells in regional lymph nodes and normal residual thyroid tissue directly after surgery. view more (2009-01-05)
Doctors able to predict recurrence of high-risk breast cancers
International researchers have developed a prediction model to assist doctors in determining the chance of recurrence of cancer in high-risk breast cancer patients who have undergone a mastectomy followed by radiation therapy. view more (2006-04-03)
New blood marker may predict prostate cancer spread
Researchers report finding a new blood biomarker that enables close to 98 percent accuracy in predicting the spread of prostate cancer to regional lymph nodes. view more (2008-02-28)
Building the lymphatic drainage system
Our bodies' tissues need continuous irrigation and drainage. Blood vessels feeding the tissues bring in the fluids, and drainage occurs via the lymphatic system. While much is known about how blood vessels are built, the same was not true for lymph vessels. view more (2009-04-27)
Jefferson scientists find protein helps pancreatic cancer cells evade immune system and spread
A protein that helps prevent a woman's body from rejecting a fetus may also play an important role in enabling pancreatic cancer cells to evade detection by the immune system, allowing them to spread in the body. view more (2008-01-11)
Ultrasound can predict tumor burden and survival in melanoma patients
Researchers have shown for the first time that patterns of ultrasound signals can be used to identify whether or not cancer has started to spread in melanoma patients, and to what extent. The discovery enables doctors to decide on how much surgery, if any, is required and to predict the patient's probable survival. view more (2009-09-23)
Live From The Lymph Node
Scientists at the German Research Centre for Biotechnology (GBF) in Braunschweig have successfully filmed individual cells migrating within a functioning lymph node. "We are the first in Europe to have taken such pictures," explains GBF researcher Dr. Matthias Gunzer. The new findings gleaned from observing immune cells in action in a living... view more...

Researchers train the immune system to deliver virus that destroys cancer in lab models
An international team of researchers led by Mayo Clinic have designed a technique that uses the body's own cells and a virus to destroy cancer cells that spread from primary tumors to other parts of the body through the lymphatic system. view more (2007-12-19)
