A novel cytokine profile associated with cancer metastasis to mediastinal and hilar lymph nodes identified using fine needle aspiration biopsy - A pilot study
Cancer metastasis to the lymph node is associated with poor prognosis, especially in patient with lung cancer. The data presented in the current study shows that the cytokine expression of lymph nodes with metastases differ from a benign lymph node. Understanding the microenvironmental changes in a lymph node with cancer metastasis will allow for novel therapies to prevent and treat cancer metastasis.
