On the right side it is in relation above with the azygos vein, cisterna chyli, thoracic duct, and the right crus of the diaphragm the last separating it from the upper part of the inferior vena cava, and from the right celiac ganglion; the inferior vena cava is in contact with the aorta below.

On the advice of Peter Mark Roget he communicated two papers to the Royal Society " On the Chemical Analysis of the Contents of the Thoracic Duct in the Human Subject " ( 1842 ), and in June 1847, " On the Function of the Red Corpuscles of the Blood, and on the Process of Arterialisation ".

The left supraclavicular node is the classical Virchow's node because it is on the left side of the neck where the lymphatic drainage of most of the body ( from the thoracic duct ) enters the venous circulation via the left subclavian vein . The metastasis blocks the thoracic duct leading to regurgitation into the surrounding nodes i . e . virchow's node.

As the circular path through the body's system continues, the fluid is then transported to progressively larger lymphatic vessels culminating in the right lymphatic duct ( for lymph from the right upper body ) and the thoracic duct ( for the rest of the body ); both ducts " drain " into the circulatory system at the right and left subclavian veins.
