Imaging before cytoreductive surgery in advanced ovarian cancer patients

Abstract: Appropriate and accurate pre-operative imaging in epithelial ovarian cancer patients may allow selection of patients that may mostly benefit either from primary cytoreductive surgery or from neoadjuvant chemotherapy. If the patient is considered suitable for upfront surgery, pre-operative imaging may help in planning the surgical approach, to forecast the operating time, and to estimate the need for other consulting specialists. Currently, computed tomography (CT) imaging is the standard of care for pre-operat… Show more

“…It can scan different sections to display the anatomical structure and condition of the body under examination, which is conducive to the early detection of lesions. In addition, MRI has high soft tissue resolution and high qualitative diagnostic value (23,24). Thus, MRI plays an important role in the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of ovarian tumors.…”

“…As CT scans only show the defect of the cross-sectional image, it is difficult to distinguish between endometriotic cysts, the uterine serosal layer or ovarian tumors (25,26). Conversely, MRI uses multi-directional and multi-level imaging, obtains a larger amount of information, a higher resolution of soft tissues, and clearly defines the range of edema, inflammation, tumors, etc., and thus provides certain biochemical and pathological information (21,24,26).…”

“…Conventional magnetic resonance imaging (cMRI) plays a significant role in the diagnosis of pelvic diseases due to its high soft-tissue resolution ( 13 , 14 ). It can clearly reveal the lesion characteristics (cystic, bleeding, edema, fibrosis, and so on), the relationship between the tumor and surrounding tissues, and the status of lymph node disease (metastasis or inflammation).…”
