Role of PET/CT in Assessment of Recurrent Ovarian Tumors
Ahmed Mohamed Ekbal Ghoneim;
Abstract
ABSTRACT
Background: Ovarian cancer remains a major health problem worldwide, with over
225,000 new cases and 140,000 deaths reported annually. Despite high response after
initial treatment, 20-30% of patients with early-stage disease and up to 75% of
patients with advanced disease present with recurrence within two years. Early
diagnosis of recurrence is crucial for determination of the best treatment.
Aim of the Work: is to detect the significance of PET/CT in the early detection of
recurrent ovarian tumors.
