Plasma cells subsequently localize to the lymph node medullary chords ... The authors propose a model in which plasmablasts seek out medullary cords by undertaking random, linear migration ...

Detecting the cancer early can be difficult. Medullary thyroid cancer commonly advances from the thyroid into the lymph nodes. Undiagnosed medullary thyroid cancer can spread into other neck ...

IT is a matter of common observation that in the lymph node of the older animal each of the subdivisions of the lymphoid pulp, namely, centron 1, cortex and medullary cord, maintains a different ...

Only about a third of patients with medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) receive the recommended initial treatment of a total thyroidectomy in addition to central neck lymph-node dissection ...

A 31-year-old woman underwent a right lumpectomy and sentinel lymph node sampling for a breast mass. Pathology showed a 21 x 11 mm medullary carcinoma of the breast, with clear margins ...

However, unlike papillary and medullary cancer, it typically does not spread to the lymph nodes. Follicular thyroid cancer can spread to other parts of the body, such as the bones or lungs.

New data indicate that survival after total thyroidectomy with central lymph node dissection in patients with medullary thyroid cancer was largely dependent on tumor size and distant metastases.
