Tumor Cells Metastasize from Lymph Nodes
Abstract
Two mouse studies have found that tumor cells can metastasize via the lymph nodes. One study demonstrated that cancer cells from lymph-node metastases accounted for most cells in lung metastases. The other study found that tumor cells can spread from the lymph nodes to the lungs by entering the bloodstream.
