Inferior Epigastric Lymp Node (IELN) Basin as a Possible Systemic Metastatic Pathway of Ovarian Peritoneal Metastases
Sponsor: Jules Bordet Institute
Summary
The IELN basin could represent a primary LN relay for systemic metastatic dissemination in patients with OPM. This newly described lymphatic pathway of metastatic dissemination of OPM may be involved in certain presentations of peritoneal dissemination. The presence of invaded IELN may represent a new biomarker predictive of the pattern of progression of OPM and a related risk for systemic dissemination.
