Ø Lymph Nodes and Cancer
- Lymph Nodes:- Our bodies have a system of lymph vessels and lymph hubs. This system is a piece of the body's safe framework. It gathers liquid, squander material, and different things (like infections and microscopic organisms) that are in the body tissues, outside the circulatory system.
- Cancer in the lymph nodes
- Cancer can appear in the lymph nodes in 2 ways: it can either start there or it can spread there from somewhere else. Cancer that starts in the lymph nodes is called lymphoma.
v How
does cancer spread to lymph nodes?
Cancer can
spread from where it started (the primary site) to other parts of the body.
When cancer
cells break away from a tumour, they can travel to other areas of the body
through either the bloodstream or the lymph system. Cancer cells can travel
through the bloodstream to reach distant organs. If they pass through the lymph
system, the cancer cells may end up in lymph nodes. Either way, most of the controlled
cancer cells die or are killed before they can begin developing somewhere else.
But one or two might settle in another zone, start to develop, and shape new tumours.
This spread of cancer to another segment of the body is called metastasis. All
together for growth cells to spread to new parts of the body; they need to
experience a few changes. They initially need to end up ready to split far from
the first tumour and after that append to the outside mass of a lymph vessel or
vein. At that point they should travel through the vessel wall to stream with
the blood or lymph to another organ or lymph hub.
v cancer
in lymph nodes found:-
·lymph nodes are tiny and hard
· The doctor must check for cancer by
removing all or part of the lymph node.
· While removing a primary cancer, one or
more of the nearby (regional) lymph nodes may be removed as well
· Removal of one lymph node is called a
biopsy.
· Many lymph nodes are removed, it’s
called lymph node sampling or lymph node dissection
