Lymphatic System and Diseases is a research topic within Oncology. Science Explorer counts 17k research works in it since 1950. 16.7% of them reached the world's top 10% most cited for their field and year.
This cluster of papers focuses on the molecular mechanisms, regulation, and role of lymphangiogenesis in cancer metastasis and disease, with a particular emphasis on the involvement of VEGF-C, tumor lymphatics, macrophages, podoplanin, and VEGFR-3 signaling. It also addresses the implications of lymphedema and inflammation in the context of lymphatic vascular development.
