Neck Lymph Node Removal Tied to Cognitive Decline Risk
Original: Neck Lymph Node Removal Linked to Increased Risk of Cognitive Decline
Researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine report that surgical removal of lymph nodes in the neck is associated with an increased risk of cognitive decline. The finding, published through the institution's newsroom, suggests lymphatic drainage in the neck may play a role in brain health. The study may prompt clinicians to weigh cognitive risks when planning head and neck cancer surgeries involving lymph node dissection.
Why now: A new medical study linking a common surgical procedure to cognitive decline has drawn attention from clinicians and patients.
