A novel approach for lymph node metastasis treatment

by Tohoku University Osmotic pressure-and-viscosity-modified Docetaxel via lymphatic drug delivery system (LDDS) can inhibit tumor growth in the lymphatic system and prevent distant metastasis. Increases in osmotic pressure and viscosity lead to significant tumor inhibition in the sentinel lymph node (LN) and its’ downstream LN. Moreover, we found the underlying mechanism of increased osmotic pressure and...
