Lymph nodes are distributed as clusters in places (e.g., neck, axilla, and groin) where the afferent vessels can drain defined regions of the body. The lymph nodes essentially strain the incoming lymph to remove and process foreign pathogens or other foreign antigens. In addition to free-...
These lymph nodes lie along the bottom of your jaw bone. They drain your conjunctiva, lips, tongue, and flour of your mouth. If these lymph nodes become swollen it could be due to infections of your neck, ears, pharynx, eyes, head, and sinuses. These are also referred to as your post...

Where are the four main locations of lymph nodes in the body? There are clusters of lymph nodes in four main locations within the body. These are the neck, armpits, groin, and abdomen. What does a swollen lymph node feel like? A swollen lymph node will feel like a round lump and can...
Patients with inguinal LNM were included, while those who had undergone therapy in the groin region or whose image quality was abnormal were excluded. The criteria for identifying metastatic nodes were as follows: nodes with a short-axis diameter greater than or equal to 10 mm in the short ...
An ideal location for antigen presentation, lymph nodes are essential for cellular immunity. Three paired lymph node basins, the cervical, axillary and inguinal nodes are located at the neck, axillae, and groin respectively. Afferent lymphatic collectors drain into sinuses between germinal centers ...

Herein, we retrospectively collected information from patients diagnosed with breast cancer in our hospital between January 2020 and December 2023. To analyze the morphological characteristics of the breast cancer lesions and lymph nodes in these patients via ultrasound images combined with the pathological...
Single-cell RNA sequencing of 18 samples from paracancerous, primary tumor, and lymph nodes was performed. Then, new signaling axes closely related to metastasis were identified using bioinformatics, in vitro experiments, and immunohistochemistry. The mechanism of remodeling of the LN microenvironment ...
