Summary Introduction
To determine:
The distinguishing criteria between infected lymph nodes and the malignant lymph nodes.

The lymphatic system is a part of the body’s immune system. Lymph nodes, which are small bean-shaped nodules of tissues, are a part of the lymphatic system only. In case of an infection, lymph nodes get swollen.
Summary Introduction
To explain:
The ways by which a physician can determine if the cancerous lymph node has spread to other parts of the body or not.

A lymphadenectomy (lymph = clear fluid + aden = gland + -ectomy = excision) is a surgical procedure that involves the removal of lymph nodes. It is an invasive procedure that is performed to slow or stop the spread of cancer cells through the body from an original tumor site. Describe why this procedure might be effective in stopping the spread of cancer, even though it involves removing lymph nodes that are filled with the cells engaged in destroying unwanted substances and cells.
Sylvia’s grandfather is diagnosed with lung cancer. When his physician takes biopsies of several lymph nodes from neighboring regions of the body, Sylvia wonders why, since his cancer is in his lungs. What would you tell her?
