Neck Lymph Node Removal Linked to Cognitive Decline Risk

Original: Neck Lymph Node Removal Linked to Increased Risk of Cognitive Decline

Researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine report that removal of lymph nodes in the neck is associated with an increased risk of cognitive decline. The finding suggests the lymphatic system in the neck may play a role in brain health, raising questions for patients undergoing neck surgery and for clinicians weighing the procedure's long-term effects.

Why now: A new medical study linking a common surgical procedure to cognitive decline is drawing attention from patients and clinicians.
