Neck Lymph Node Removal Tied to Higher Cognitive Decline Risk
Original: Neck Lymph Node Removal Linked to Increased Risk of Cognitive Decline
Researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine report that surgical removal of lymph nodes in the neck is associated with an increased risk of cognitive decline. The finding suggests the cervical lymphatic system may play a previously underappreciated role in brain health, prompting calls for clinicians to weigh cognitive risks when planning neck surgery and for further research into the underlying mechanisms.
Why now: A new medical study linking a common surgical procedure to cognitive decline is drawing attention from clinicians and patients.
