Malignant cancer cells can break away from a tumour and travel through the bloodstream to the lymph system, where they grow and form metastatic lymph nodes that can be felt.
Metastatic lymph nodes can reach a diameter of several centimetres. They are easy to feel and also visible to the eye in the neck, the armpits and the groin. They are hard, but usually painless.
Metastatic lymph nodes appear sooner or later with every cancer (including leukaemia), as cancer cells travel to lymph nodes in the vicinity, where they start growing.
Under some circumstances it can also make sense to combine these different forms of therapy. Unfortunately it isn’t always possible to halt the further progression of the disease.
