"Lymphadenotomy" Natural Recordings by Native Speakers
Lymphadenotomy is a surgical procedure to remove a lymph node or a group of lymph nodes for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes. It is often performed to diagnose and stage cancer, particularly in the neck, armpits, or groin area, to determine the severity of the disease and plan treatment. The removed lymph nodes are then examined under a microscope to check for cancer cells, which helps in determining the best course of treatment.
Lymphadenotomy Examples
Lymphadenoma refers to a benign tumor that develops in the lymph nodes, which are part of the immune system. It is a rare condition in which a non-cancerous mass grows in one or more lymph nodes, often in the neck, armpits, or groin. Lymphadenoma can cause swelling and tenderness in the affected area, but it rarely causes serious health problems and is often treated with surgery or radiation therapy.
