| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Diagnosis of lymph node metastasis is very important for improving cancer prognosis because cancer metastasis tend to occur via lymph vessels rather than blood vessels. To clarify molecular mechanism of lymphatic metastasis and apply the mechanism to development of new diagnostic method for cancer metastasis, we mainly performed three research projects as follows: (1) elucidation of mechanism for lymph node metastasis using unique tumor-bearing mice, (2) development of detection method for lymphatic metastasis using various imaging modalities, and (3) development of pathological diagnosis of surgically-removed primary tumor and metastatic lymph nodes.
