Detection of ovarian cancer is usually a big challenge as it has not specific symptoms and signs in the earlier stages of the disease. Also most cases are identified in advanced stages because the tumor tends to be spread to the peritoneum in even early phases of the disease. For characterisation and description of the [...]

    Detection of ovarian cancer is usually a big challenge as it has not specific symptoms and signs in the earlier stages of the disease. Also most cases are identified in advanced stages because the tumor tends to be spread to the peritoneum in even early phases of the disease. For characterisation and description of the metastasis status of the lesion, the status of size presence of enhancing solid components, vascularised thich septations, vascularised papillary projections, vascularized thick- irregular wall, secondary findings associated with malignant lesions including ascites, omental cakes or peritoneal deposit/implants must be examined and reported seperately.
