Lymph node metastasis, do you understand its process?

Lymph node metastasis usually first reaches the group of lymph nodes closest to the tumor (the first station), and then the ones farther away (the second station, the third station). When tumor cells infiltrate and grow in each station, they also spread to the adjacent lymph nodes in the same group, but there are exceptions.

Plaster is a unique flower in traditional Chinese medicine. There are ancient sayings such as "The principle of external treatment is the principle of internal treatment, and the medicine for external treatment is the medicine for internal treatment. The only difference is the method", "Plaster can cure diseases, just like decoction. If used properly, it will work immediately".

It can also regulate the body's yin and yang balance through the drug's meridian function, penetrate into the epidermis, stimulate nerve endings, promote local blood microcirculation, strengthen the body, improve physical fitness, and fundamentally and comprehensively target the characteristics of lymphatic diseases to exert its therapeutic effects, improve the nutrition of tissues around lesions, play a role in repairing lymphocytes, and ultimately achieve the treatment goal.

2. Other treatments

If the diagnosis is confirmed after lymph node biopsy, targeted treatment can be given based on the diagnosis.

If the origin is still undiagnosed, but it is certain that it is a malignant tumor, surgery is the best option for this patient. But unfortunately, due to location limitations, surgery is not suitable.

Radiotherapy is the main treatment method. The "four-dimensional radiotherapy" mentioned by netizens causes less damage and can be used.

In addition, if you want to improve the efficacy, you can combine it with chemotherapy. It is recommended to choose 1-2 of the following drugs for use with radiotherapy:

Cisplatin, 5-FU, paclitaxel.
