A member asked:
Would wbc be elevated with ovarian cancer?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Possible: Elevated WBC is also called leukocytosis. Any inflammatory condition, including cancers, can potentially cause a leukocytosis. Remember however, there are many more common reasons for elevation of the WBC (infection, etc). If you have concerns speak with your physician and gyn doc's. They will work-up and refer as needed.

Probably not: But there are other blood tests and tumor markers that can be elevated with diagnosed ovarian cancer.
