A member asked:
What specific type of lymph nodes are most commonly involved in ovarian cancer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Uncommon: Ovarian cancer typically does not go to lymph nodes except in a minority of patients where pelvic and para-aortic nodes can be affected. On rare occasions inguinal lymph nodes can be the site of ovarian cancer metastasis.
