Explore the innovative concept of bioengineered lymph nodes as a promising solution for lymphedema after cancer surgery.

Removing lymph nodes during cancer surgery has saved countless lives in many tumor types. Yet recent research is challenging parts of this long-standing practice. Subscribe to our newsletter for the ...

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 ...

Cancer treatment routinely involves taking out lymph nodes near the tumor in case they contain metastatic cancer cells. But new findings from a clinical trial by researchers at UC San Francisco and ...

Breakthrough research presented at the 2026 Society of Thoracic Surgeons Annual Meeting shows that additional lymph node ...

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 ...

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 ...

Sentinel lymph nodes (SLNs) serve as the first checkpoint in breast cancer metastasis and play a crucial role in halting cancer progression. However, in advanced cancers with metastatic potential, ...

Most older patients with ER-positive DCIS undergoing mastectomy can avoid axillary surgery, reducing unnecessary procedures. Axillary surgery is overused in patients aged 70 and older, with 93% ...
