Papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) generally has a good prognosis, with 5-year relative survival rates of 99% for regional cancer that has spread to the lymph nodes. PTC is the most common type of thyroid ...

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 ...

Head and neck lymphedema is typically managed with a combination of therapies to help reduce swelling and skin effects. The ...

The signs that thyroid cancer has spread can vary depending on where in the body it has traveled to. Thyroid cancers often spread to the nearby lymph nodes and the lungs, bone, brain, and liver. For ...

A team of researchers, led by the Peter Doherty Institute for Infection and Immunity (Doherty Institute), explored the cellular and molecular interactions revealing how lymph nodes play a crucial role ...

When the bladder is surgically removed (an operation called radical cystectomy) to treat bladder cancer, surgeons also remove nearby lymph nodes, small glands that are part of the immune system. This ...

Researchers have developed a compact camera that captures ultraviolet, near-infrared, and visible images using a single chip. Inspired by the multiwavelength vision capability of the mantis shrimp, ...

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 ...

A camera platform developed at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign could help surgeons identify lymph nodes connected ...

Researchers have developed a compact camera that captures ultraviolet, near-infrared and visible images using a single chip. Inspired by the multiwavelength vision capability of the mantis shrimp, the ...

Lung cancer typically spreads locally within the lungs first, migrating through the airways to other areas of the same lung. In some cases, it can then move to the lining of the lung. When lung cancer ...
