The lymph node (LN) is a pea-sized (0.1–2.5 cm long), bean-shaped organ of the lymphatic and immune system. A human possesses approximately 500–600 lymph nodes and collectively, lymph nodes enable ...

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 ...

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 ...

The popliteal lymph nodes lie in the tissues behind a person’s knee. Infections and autoimmune conditions can cause them to swell. It is rare for cancer to affect the popliteal lymph nodes. According ...
