Johns Hopkins Medicine scientists say they have developed an artificial lymph node with the potential to treat cancer, according to a new study in mice and human cells. The newly developed lymph ...

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. Imagine your body's immune defenses ...

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 ...

Results from the PHENIX-I trial support skipping pelvic lymphadenectomy in women with early cervical cancer who have a negative sentinel lymph node biopsy. Omitting pelvic lymphadenectomy in these ...

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 ...

Breakthrough research presented at the 2026 Society of Thoracic Surgeons Annual Meeting shows that additional lymph node evaluation is needed during surgery for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) to ...
