  • Title: Lymphangiography in ovarian cancer.
    Author: Athey PA, Wallace S, Jing BS, Gallager HS, Smith JP.
    Journal: Am J Roentgenol Radium Ther Nucl Med; 1975 Jan; 123(1):106-13. PubMed ID: 1119644.
    Abstract:
    Lymphangiography can be of assistance in pre-treatment staging and thereby influence management of patients with ovarian cancer. The distribution of lymph node metastases was related to the histologic type of ovarian neoplasm. Tumors of germ cell origin more frequently spread to para-aortic lymph nodes, while epithelial neoplasms of the ovary metastasized to the pelvic and para-aortic lymph nodes, apparently in continuity. In this series, lymph node metastasis from ovarian cancer was seldom associated with ascites.
