Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
The importance of selecting patients with ovarian cancer who will benefit from either primary debulking surgery or neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by interval debulking surgery has been acknowledged worldwide but the optimal diagnostic modality to serve in this matter remains to be discovered. We believe that combined magnetic resonance imaging and positron emission tomography (MR-PET) can be of great clinical value in preoperative staging of patients with ovarian cancer.
