A member asked:
Are there procedures where lymph nodes are completely removed?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Only in one spot: The are several types of cancer that call for complete removal of a group of nodes, called a dissection. There are lymph nodes all over the body so that there is no reasonable procedure that could remove them all.
