The scariest thing about malignant tumors is the ability of tumor cells to metastasizeThere are three main pathways for tumor cells to metastasize: lymph, blood, and airways。For many solid tumors, distant organ metastasis indicates advanced disease and is the primary cause of tumor-related mortality, while lymph node metastasis (LNM) is a harbinger of distant tumor metastasis and can be used as an important prognostic indicator. Today, let's talk about why lymph node metastasis occurs? And what to do next?
Why do lymph node metastases occur?
Due toLymph nodes are widely distributed throughout the body, and tumors grow invasivelyCancer cells can enter the lymphatic vessels and use the lymphatic fluid to find new places where they can take root and sprout. In this process, cancer cells can pass through multiple lymph nodes, resulting in a higher chance of lymph node metastasis, and the possibility of latent in other lymph nodes cannot be ruled out, which undoubtedly increases the difficulty.
What should I do after lymph node metastasis?
