摘要
鳞状上皮癌是头颈部最常见的恶性肿瘤。在原发灶已经控制的情况下,是否出现颈部淋巴转移是影响头颈癌预后的重要因素。因此,深入认识头颈部淋巴管的结构和肿瘤经淋巴管转移的机制对于头颈部鳞癌的治疗至关重要,本文综述了文献中有关淋巴管的研究方法,以期能对淋巴管的进一步研究有所启发。
The lymphatic system plays an important role in human health and disease. In addition to a role in the immune response, the lymphatics can also serve as a pathway for cancer metastasis. Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is one of the most common cancers. In the case where the primary focus has been controlled, cervical lymph node metastasis is one of the most important factors affecting the prognosis of head and neck cancer. Thus, understanding the anatomy of the lymphatic system is of paramount importance in predicting cancer metastasis and to perform proper lymph node dissection in cancer patients. The objective of this review is to summarize current imaging approaches that facilitate both basic science and clinical investigations of lymphatic vasculature. Mutation analysis of the laryngeal lymphatic system may provide a theoretical basis for the diagnosis and treatment of HNSCC.
