- N/A
- Molecular classification
- Microvasculature, Lymphatic Vessel, Lymphoid Organ, Anatomical Structure
01
Overview
Lymphatic capillaries are specialized microvessels essential for maintaining tissue-fluid homeostasis. Their unique structure enables efficient uptake of extracellular fluids which are then filtered through regional lymph nodes—including sentinel nodes critical in oncologic surgery—to monitor infection or metastasis. In clinical practice, targeting this system allows minimally invasive assessment of cancer spread using techniques like sentinel node mapping.
