Question
Chapter 34, Problem 2WIO
Summary Introduction
To analyze:
The reason why that physicians take biopsies of nearby lymph nodes when surgically removing cancerous tumors from the body.
Introduction:
The body's lymphatic system depends on the tiny, rounded organs known as lymph hubs. The resistive framework includes the lymphatic framework. It consists of a network of veins and organs that transports lymph, a fluid that reasonably carries white platelets that fight illness as well as fluid and side effects from the body's cells and tissues. Lymph can also carry cancer cells that have detached from the primary tumor in a patient with malignant development. A sentinel lymph hub biopsy (SLNB) is a method where the sentinel lymph hub is identified, removed, and examined to determine whether malignant growth cells are present.
