“…Further to clinical examination and checking for symptoms, CA-125 is the simplest tool to trigger imaging and is a better approach than regular routine imaging for diagnosis of recurrent ovarian cancer [244,251]. Radiographic imaging, such as ultrasound, chest-abdomen-pelvis CT, whole-body MRI or PET-CT, should only be carried out if clinically indicated, based on symptoms, clinical examination or a rising CA-125 level [252][253][254][255]. Mucinous and clear cell ovarian cancers could represent a potential source of PET-negative findings [256].…”

“…Despite the fact that the role of imaging techniques or serum tumor markers in asymptomatic patients remains controversial, their use in symptomatic patients is advocated . The diagnostic performance of these diagnostic tools varies among the different techniques, but, in general, all of them have acceptable results . However, none of them is 100% specific.…”
