Is The High WBC Count Be Due To The Ovarian Cancer?

Does ovarian cancer cause high wbc? My sister was told yesterday they are basically 100 hundred percent sure she has ovarian cancer and there is a 3 inch tumor on her ovary. They sent her to the specialist today who said her white blood cell count is high so they want to wait on the results from that as well. Her white blood cell count was 95,000 would the ovarian cancer cause this or might it be a different type of cancer or even something else.

Hi, dear.
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. Ovarian cancer limited to ovary only doesn't cause this much high wbc count. But if it spread to the bone marrow then it czn produce leukoerythroblastic reaction and can cause it. However possibility is very low. Somevother cause like severe infection can leads to this. So you should go for peripheral smear examination. And if needed go for further investigation.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic.
Wish you a very good health.
