    Computed tomography (CT) aids in staging ovarian cancer, with accuracy in most patients. While valuable for assessing treatment response, CT has limitations in detecting small peritoneal disease and post-surgical changes.

    Area of Science:

    • Oncology
    • Radiology
    • Gynecologic Oncology

    Background:

    • Ovarian cancer staging is crucial for treatment planning and prognosis.
    • Accurate assessment of disease extent is vital for effective management.
    • Computed tomography (CT) is a noninvasive imaging modality used in cancer evaluation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the accuracy of computed tomography (CT) in staging ovarian cancer.
    • To assess the utility of CT in determining the extent of disease and response to treatment.
    • To identify limitations of CT in evaluating ovarian cancer patients.

    Main Methods:

    • Sixteen women with ovarian cancer underwent clinical and pathological staging.
    • Concomitant computed tomography (CT) scans were performed for all patients.

  • Comparison of CT findings with clinical and pathological staging results.

    • Main Results:

    • CT accurately staged ovarian cancer in nine out of sixteen patients.
    • Disease staging was upgraded in three patients based on CT findings.
    • CT results were equivocal or inaccurate in four patients, failing to detect the true extent of disease, especially small peritoneal seedings and post-surgical changes.

    Conclusions:

    • Computed tomography (CT) is a valuable noninvasive tool for assessing ovarian cancer.
    • CT has limitations in detecting small peritoneal metastases and differentiating post-surgical changes from recurrent disease.
    • Despite limitations, CT aids in evaluating ovarian cancer extent and treatment response.
