Background
Recent reports have indicated that vascularized lymph node transfer (VLNT) may improve the impaired immunity in lymphedema but there has been no report concerning anti‐cancer immunity. In the early tumor immune response, dendritic cells (DCs) participate in tumor recognition and antigen presentation in local lymphatics. Here, we investigated the impact of VLNT on DC dynamics against cancer...
Objectives
External color Doppler ultrasonography is reported to be a useful monitoring technique that is simple and noninvasive; however, details of imaging of the transferred free jejunal flap have not been reported. We reviewed our experience using external color Doppler ultrasonography to monitor a transferred free jejunal flap and examined its utility.
