## Background: Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (npc) has a high potential to develop distant metastasis after radiotherapy. cytokeratin 19 (ck-19) mrna has been frequently used as a marker in the detection of circulating tumor cells of epithelial origin, but has rarely been investigated in npc. this study

β¦ Synopsis
A case of canine lymphoma with radiographically-documented involvement of the para-aortic nodes is reported. Intralymphatic infusions (ILI) of cultured irradiate$ autochthonous tumor cells to remote lymph node bearing areas were associated with a dramatic initial shrinkage of the para-aortic lymphadenopathies. Three ILI timing schedules were used consecutively during a course of 10 treatments, allowing a comparison of responses in the same animal. The reported case suggests that a normal lymph node can be effectively "stimulated" by the same agent approximately every 3 weeks. A possible schedule for intralym phatic infusion is roposed for further investigation.
