THE BASIC APPROACHES TO STUDYING THE LYMPHATIC SYSTEM IN BREAST CANCER (LITERATURE REVIEW)
Keywords:
breast cancer, lymphatic system; lymphatic metastases, treatment with anticancer drugs, radiation therapyAbstract
Рак молочной железы является одной из наиболее важных причин преждевременной смертности среди женщин и одной из наиболее часто диагностируемых опухолей во всем мире. Данная статья направлена на обзор новых методологических исследований для оценки анатомии лимфатической сети, а также молекулярного и физиологического контроля функции лимфатических сосудов, с целью объяснить, как лимфатическая система способствует процессу развития заболевания, уделяя особое внимание раку молочной железы. Новые методы лимфатической визуализации и вмешательства, включая внутриузловую лимфангиографию, магнитно-резонансную лимфангиографию с динамическим контрастом и лимфатическую эмболизацию, расширили знания об анатомии лимфатической системы.
