Experimental lymphatic metastasis

Journal of Microscopy, 1983
SUMMARYA model of lymphatic metastasis of cancer has been established by injecting tumour cells into the rat footpad and examining the draining popliteal lymph node. The node can probably destroy only a few tumour cells; thereafter metastasis is progressive and lethal.

Molecular mechanisms and imaging of lymphatic metastasis

Experimental Cell Research, 2013
In many types of cancer, tumors metastasize through the lymphatic system to draining lymph nodes. These sentinel lymph nodes have gained increased attention as a prognostic indicator for the severity of the disease, leading to the sentinel lymph node mapping and biopsy procedure to be accepted as standard-of-care for breast cancer and melanoma. However,

Experimental models of lymphatic metastasis [PDF]

, 1982
The common human cancers spread by lymphatic metastasis [1], but most experimental work on metastasis has been done with models of hematogenous metastasis since this occurs much more readily in animal systems. The classic work on lymphatic metastasis was that of Zeidman and Buss [2], but until 1970 the field was relatively unexplored.

Lymphatic Metastasis of Neoplasms

1983
Human cancers commonly metastasize by the lymphatics to draining lymph nodes. The existence of lymphatic vessels has been known since the observations of Aselli in 1622 and the fact that cancer can spread to lymph nodes was “well-known”to Pearson in 1793 (reviewed by Mayerson, 1969; Onuigbo, 1972).

Targeted Treatment for Lymphedema and Lymphatic Metastasis

Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 2008
The presence of lymphatic vessels has been known for centuries, but the key players regulating the lymphatic vessel growth and function have only been discovered during the recent decade. The lymphatic vasculature is essential for maintenance of normal fluid balance and for the immune response.

Gene sequencing and expression of Raf-1 in lymphatic metastasis of hypopharyngeal carcinoma

Cancer Biomarkers, 2020
OBJECTIVE: We performed differential gene screening for lymphatic metastasis of hypopharyngeal carcinoma by gene sequencing. We also aimed to investigate the expression and clinicopathological significance of the screened gene in hypopharyngeal carcinoma

Adhesion mechanisms in lymphatic metastasis

Cancer and Metastasis Review, 1991
The role of cellular adhesion in regional lymph node metastasis of solid tumors has been investigated. The data reviewed is based on studies in four different tumor models of human, rat and murine origin. An in vitro assay measuring tumor cell attachment to cryostat sections of normal peripheral lymph nodes, obtained from the species of tumor origin ...

Gastrointestinal cancer metastasis and lymphatic advancement

Surgery Today, 2010
The role of angiogenesis in the growth of solid tumors is well established, but the role of lymphatic vessels and the relationship between lymphangiogenesis and tumor spread are less clear. Recently, the molecular pathway that signals lymphangiogenesis and specific markers for lymphatic endothelium have been discovered; however, the lymphatic pathway ...

Lymphatic endothelium: a new frontier of metastasis research [PDF]

Nature Cell Biology, 2002
The vascular endothelium is a dynamic tissue with many active functions. Until recently, endothelial cell (EC) biology studies have used cultured ECs from various organs; these cell lines are considered representative of the blood vascular endothelium.

Lymphatic function, lymphangiogenesis, and cancer metastasis

Microscopy Research and Technique, 2001
AbstractThe lymphatic system serves as the primary route for the metastasis of many cancers and the extent of lymph node involvement is the most important indicator of tumor aggressiveness. Despite the apparent importance of the lymphatic vessels for tumor dissemination, it has remained unclear whether activation of lymphatic endothelial cells may ...
