There are lymph nodes scattered throughout the body. The location of the affected lymph nodes makes a big difference. For example, the lymph nodes in the groove between the duodenum and the pancreas are a very common site of metastases. These are considered locoregional and are routinely removed during the Whipple surgical procedure. However, the spread of cancer to more distant lymph nodes, such as lymph nodes closer to the liver, may mean the tumor is unresectable. Liver: Metastases to the liver are a common finding especially with tumors in the tail and the body of the pancreas. Usually, if there is evidence of liver mets, surgery will not be an option. Celiac plexus: This is a network of many nerves that are grouped around the aorta where it passes through opening in the diaphragm. It is these nerves that cause back pain when pressed upon by a growing tumor. Therefore, this is where an alcohol is injected during an alcohol nerve block to stop the sensation of pain.
If cancer spreads to the lymph nodes it may make them swell up. The swollen lymph nodes are easy to see if they are near the surface of the body â for example, in the neck or under the arm. But if the nodes are deeper in the body, they can only be seen on a scan. Cancer in the lymph nodes may not cause any symptoms. But sometimes, the swollen lymph nodes can block the circulation of tissue fluid. This can cause swelling in the affected part of the body. For example, swollen lymph nodes in the armpit or groin can cause swelling in the arm or leg on the same side of the body.
