Abstract:
Identification of cancer spread to tumor-draining lymph nodes offers critical information for guiding treatment in many cancer types. Current clinical methods of nodal staging are invasive and can have substantial negative side effects. Molecular imaging protocols have long been proposed as a less invasive means of nodal staging, having the potential to enable highly sensitive and specific evaluations. This review article summarizes the current status and future perspectives for molecular targeted nodal staging.

Detailed Structure and Function of Lymph Nodes
From a histological perspective, lymph nodes can be split into two main areas: the superficial cortex and the deep medulla. The outer cortex is populated by dendritic cells, macrophages, and B lymphocytes, which are densely packed into follicles. When these B-lymphocytes are presented...
