Abstract excerpt
Tumor-draining lymph nodes (TDLNs) are critical organs, where activation of B cells and T cells is orchestrated. Effector or regulatory anti-tumor immune responses are reflected by the composition of the lymphocytic and monocytic cell population of the node. Aside from the migratory cancer cell abilities, immune cell phenotypic changes in the TDLNs may define nodal invasion by cancer. We assessed the qualitative...
