Nearly 70% 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 ahead of print in ...

A prospective study shows that ultrafast dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI kinetic parameters, particularly maximum slope and ...

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 ...

Cancer that starts in the lymph nodes is lymphoma. Cancer may also spread from other areas of the body to various lymph nodes, including the neck. Swollen lymph nodes are usually due to a cause other ...

A deep learning model that reads multiregional contrast-enhanced breast MRI can predict whether chemotherapy has completely ...

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 ...
