Description
Mehmet Aslan and Baransel Algan build a risk score in 2026 for swollen neck lymph nodes. Telling a harmless swelling from cancer before surgery guides how widely to operate. Their study joins blood inflammation indices with ultrasound features in patients who had a neck node removed at one center between 2014 and 2025.
Of 481 patients, about forty-three percent proved malignant, nineteen percent granulomatous, and the rest reactive. Cancer patients were older and more often male. Clumping of nodes on ultrasound was the strongest single predictor in the adjusted model. The team turns the independent predictors into a practical score for sorting patients before biopsy.
