Predictive factors of lymph node metastasis and pattern of repartition in patients with epithelial ovarian cancer.

 To determine the rate, repartition and risk factors of lymph node (LN) metastasis in patients with epithelial ovarian cancer. We reviewed retrospectively the pathological and clinical data of 184 patients with epithelial ovarian cancer at a tertiary care center in Beirut, Lebanon. 88% of patients received a pelvic and para-aortic lymphadenectomy.
