Background: The TNM staging of rectal cancer is crucial to select treatment programs for patients, and MRI is the gold standard to confirm the diagnosis of pelvic lymph node metastasis. MRI image ...

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 ...

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 ...

Patients newly diagnosed with cancer typically focus on one question, eclipsing all others: "What is my prognosis?" Determining a cancer patient's prognosis - the likely course and outcome of their ...

Researchers at Tohoku University have discovered a new approach for treating lymph node metastasis. Anticancer drugs are administered directly into the LNs under ultrasound guidance (Lymphatic Drug ...

N1 Single lymph node metastasis, 2 cm or less in greatest dimension N1 Single regional lymph node metastasis in the true pelvis (hypogastric, obturator, external iliac or presacral lymph node) N2 ...

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 ...

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 ...

NSABP FR-2: Phase II study of durvalumab following neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) in stage II-IV rectal cancer. Dissecting the prognostic role of sidedness in metastatic colon cancer (mCC): ...
