Is Inflamed Lymph Node Related To Edema?
Hi I am a cancer patient, I have had a neuroendocrine carcinoma. It was resistant to chemo and radiation. So the doctor treated the Kras Mutation with a drug called Mekinist. I ve been on it for four months And one of the side effects is a lymphedema. Now I am experiencing inflamed lymph node on my Upper inside thigh. My question is, is the inflamed lymph node from that edema? Thank you Janine

Inflammed lymphnodes in the groin region and upper inner thigh can be due an infection in your genitals or lower abdominal region also. Prolonged edema can lead to enlarged lymphnodes.
The other possibility is progression of the cancer.
Kindly Meet your oncologist to further evaluate.
