A prospective comparison of integrated FDG-PET/contrast-enhanced CT and contrast-enhanced CT for pretreatment imaging of advanced epithelial ovarian cancer

PET/CT was not superior to CT for the detection of intra-abdominal disease spread. Patients with suspected EOC should be referred for upfront radical surgery regardless of the results of preoperative imaging studies. PET/CT is more effective for the detection of extra-abdominal disease than CT, but the clinical significance of this finding is unclear.
