Abstract | Ovarian cancer (OC) is the most lethal gynecological malignancy with majority of cases diagnosed in advanced stages and associated with high morbidity and mortality. Positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) has emerged as an integral part of the management of several nongynecological cancers. We used PubMed search engine using MeSH words "ovarian cancer" and "PET/CT" and reviewed the current status of PET/CT in epithelial OC. Its application related to ovarian tumor including adnexal mass evaluation, baseline staging, as a triaging tool for upfront surgery or neoadjuvant chemotherapy, for response assessment and prognostication, and for relapse detection and treatment planning has been highlighted. we highlight the current guidelines and newer upcoming PET modalities and radiotracers. |
