It's a very, very deadly type of cancer called an angiosarcoma.

You see a lot of little, roundish bumps there.

Central nervous system and the lymphatic. Tell me the difference.

He died from acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

And this corresponded to a tumor the size of a golf ball.

Tell me the difference between the central nervous system and the lymphatic.

And the lymphatic system is the stuff in your blood that fights diseases.

And then if that node has cancer, the woman would go on to get the axillary lymph node dissection.

Sentinel lymph node dissection has really changed the way that we manage breast cancer, melanoma.

Some of these are swollen lymph nodes that look a little larger than others.

And the good news has to do with what we know based on biomedical research that actually has changed the outcomes for many very serious diseases.

Let's start with leukemia, acute lymphoblastic leukemia, ALL, the most common cancer of children.

And, really, this is the fourth of these molecules to kind of graduate from our little pipeline of drug discovery, two of which a topical drug for lymphoma of the skin and an oral substance for the treatment of multiple myeloma will actually come to the bedside for the first clinical trial in July of this year for us, a major and exciting milestone.

I always begin with the pulse, then I examine the hands, then I look at the nail beds, then I slide my hand up to the epitrochlear node, and I was into my ritual.

The patient has cancer, you want to know if the lymph nodes have cancer even before you go in.

But when sentinel lymph node came into our treatment protocol, the surgeon basically looks for the single node that is the first draining lymph node of the cancer.

So what that means is if the lymph node did not have cancer, the woman would be saved from having unnecessary surgery.

I won't go into this very much, but our technology, besides being able to tag tumor and metastatic lymph nodes with fluorescence, we can also use the same smart three part molecule to tag gadolinium onto the system so you can do this noninvasively.

So, there you see, it's a liver with colon cancer in it, and you see into the microscope a lymph node where cancer has invaded.

And bone marrow is actually what we use to save the lives of tens of thousands of patients, most of whom have advanced malignancies like leukemia and lymphoma and some other diseases.

A guest to stop at Iping in the wintertime was an unheard of piece of luck, let alone a guest who was no haggler, and she was resolved to show herself worthy of her good fortune.
