“…Extrapelvic involvements in this cancer cause upstage of the disease. Distant metastasis in ovarian cancer commonly involves the lungs, kidneys, brain, and liver 3,4 . Positron emission tomography by 18F‐Fluorodeoxyglucose (18F‐FDG PET/CT scan) has the ability to identify distant metastases.…”
Metastasis to muscles caused by ovarian cancer is very rare and has a poor prognosis. Performing a whole-body F18-FDG PET/CT scan makes it possible to examine the whole body in one study and detected lesions in unexpected places.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
