Laryngeal cancer metastatic to lymph nodes with lymphocytic leukaemia
The Journal of Laryngology and Otology
|February 1, 1986
Abstract:
A case of metastases from laryngeal cancer to cervical lymph nodes involved also by chronic lymphocytic leukaemia is reported. The simultaneous presence of the two lesions in four lymph nodes is documented histologically. To the best of the authors' knowledge, no similar case can be found in the literature.

Tumor Progression
Tumor progression is a phenomenon where the pre-formed tumor acquires successive mutations to become clinically more aggressive and malignant. In the 1950s, Foulds first described the stepwise progression of cancer cells through successive stages.
Colon cancer is one of the best-documented examples of tumor progression. Early mutation in the APC gene in colon cells causes a small growth on the colon wall called a polyp. With time, this polyp grows into a benign, pre-cancerous tumor. Further...

Metastasis
Metastasis is the spread of cancer cells from the original site to distant locations in the body. Cancer cells can spread via blood vessels (hematogenous) as well as lymph vessels in the body.
Epithelial-to-Mesenchymal Transition
The epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition or EMT is a developmental process commonly observed in wound healing, embryogenesis, and cancer metastasis. EMT is induced by transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) or receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) ligands, which further...
