2. Lymph node metastasis - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lymph_node_metastasis

   Lymph node metastasis is the spread of cancer cells into a lymph node.. Lymph node metastasis is different from malignant lymphoma.Lymphoma is a cancer of lymph node, rather than cancer in the lymph node, because lymphoma originates from the lymph node itself, instead of originating elsewhere (e.g., the breast or colon) and spreading to the lymph nodes.

3. Head and neck cancer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Head_and_neck_cancer

   Head and neck cancer is a general term encompassing multiple cancers that can develop in the head and neck region. These include cancers of the mouth, tongue, gums and lips ( oral cancer ), voice box ( laryngeal ), throat ( nasopharyngeal , oropharyngeal , [ 1 ] hypopharyngeal ), salivary glands , nose and sinuses .

4. Metastasis - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metastasis

   Lymphatic spread allows the transport of tumor cells to regional lymph nodes near the primary tumor and ultimately, to other parts of the body. This is called nodal involvement, positive nodes, or regional disease. "Positive nodes" is a term that would be used by medical specialists to describe regional lymph nodes that tested positive for ...

5. Cervical lymphadenopathy - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cervical_lymphadenopathy

   Metastatic lymph nodes tend to feel hard and may be fixed to underlying tissues and may or may not be tender. [7] Usually the lymph nodes that directly drain the area of the cancer are affected by the spread (e.g. Sometimes metastatic cervical lymph node is detected before the main cancer). In such cases, this discovery leads to a search for ...

6. Lymphovascular invasion - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lymphovascular_invasion

   Lymphovascular invasion, especially in carcinomas, usually precedes spread to the lymph nodes that drain the tissue in which the tumour arose. Conversely, cancers with lymph node spread (known as a lymph node metastases), usually have lymphovascular invasion. Lymph node metastases usually precede secondary tumours, i.e. distant metastases.

7. Lymphoma - Wikipedia

   [3] [13] [14] Diagnosis, if enlarged lymph nodes are present, is usually by lymph node biopsy. [1] [2] Blood, urine, and bone marrow testing may also be useful in the diagnosis. [2] Medical imaging may then be done to determine if and where the cancer has spread. [1] [2] Lymphoma most often spreads to the lungs, liver, and brain. [1] [2]
