Abstract

Background: Epithelial ovarian cancer is one of the leading causes of death in gynecological malignancies and the seventh most common cancer in the world among women. Aim and objectives: The main aim of this study was to study the feasibility and ability of laparoscopy in predicting optimum respectability in cases of ovarian cancer.
