Recurrent Ovarian Cancer: Use of Contrast-enhanced CT and PET/CT to Accurately Localize Tumor Recurrence and to Predict Patients’ Survival1 — Radiology



Abstract

Purpose: To compare accuracy and interobserver variability in the detection and localization of recurrent ovarian cancer with contrast material–enhanced (CE) computed tomography (CT) and positron emission tomography (PET)/CT and determine whether imaging findings can be used to predict survival.

Conclusion: Preliminary data suggest that CE CT and PET/CT may have similar accuracy in detection of recurrent ovarian cancer. Tumor size, number, and SUVmax may have potential as prognostic biomarkers for patients with recurrent ovarian cancer.
