Promising Lymph Node Transplants

Posted on by

After battling breast cancer, many women find themselves fighting once again, this time against the treatment side effect, lymphedema. Cancer patients who have multiple lymph nodes removed, as many breast cancer patients do, have a likelihood of approximately 20% of developing lymphedema. One promising treatment is lymph node transplants, a technology that has increased in success in recent years. Dr. Joseph Dayan, a reconstructive surgeon at MSK, has successfully transplanted lymph nodes from unaffected parts of patients bodies, providing substantial relief from the symptoms of lymphedema. It is not a cure however, but the earlier it is treated the better the outcome.
