An Assessment of the Effectiveness of Preoperative Imaging Modalities (MRI, CT, and 18F-FDG PET/CT) in Determining the Extent of Disease Spread in Epithelial Ovarian-Tubal-Peritoneal Cancer (EOC).

ABSTRACT: Background and Objectives: Epithelial ovarian-tubal-peritoneal cancer (EOC) is the most common type of ovarian cancer. Optimal cytoreductive surgery is the most important prognostic factor in its management. When complete cytoreduction is anticipated to be challenging, neoadjuvant systemic chemotherapy (NACT) becomes an alternative. Imaging modalities are utilized in the decision-making process for primary treatment. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the diagnostic performance and accuracy of preoperative MRI, CT, and 18F-FDG PET/CT in detecting the extent of EOC. Materials and Methods: Between 2017 and 2018, 24 patients with primary (with or without neoadjuvant chemotherapy) or recurrent EOC diagnosed at the Department of Gynecologic Oncology, Istanbul University, Ist
