Intra-abdominal lymph node metastases (ALNM) in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) are rare but impactful. Advanced imaging like PET/CT is crucial for detecting these uncommon sites and guiding treatment.
Area of Science:
- Oncology
- Medical Imaging
Background:
- Lung cancer is a leading cause of cancer mortality globally.
- Intra-abdominal lymph node metastases (ALNM) are infrequently recognized in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
- Understanding metastatic pathways is vital for NSCLC patient management.

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...
