2020 New glands found in the human body

Scientists have identified a previously unknown set of salivary glands in the upper part of the throat, discovering what could be the first set of major glands to be found in the human body in 300 years and paving the way for techniques that could improve the quality of life for people who receive radiation therapy for cancers of the head and neck. The new set of glands are about 1.5 inches on average and lie in the nasopharyngeal region, behind the nose and above the throat. The researchers, from the Netherlands Cancer Institute in Amsterdam, said in their report that sparing these glands in radiotherapy could help reduce the difficulty in salivation and swallowing that patients of head and neck cancer experience after radiation therapy.    Images Google.com Images Google.ad Images Google.ae Images Google.com.af Images Google.com.ag Images Google.com.ai Images Google.al Images Google.am Images Google.co.ao Images Google.com.ar Images Google.as Images Google.at I...
