Abstract:Objectives: To assess the role of the positron emission tomography with fluorine-18-deoxyglucose (PET/CT) in the detection of recurrent serous ovarian cancer in patients with normal serum CA125 level.
Material and methods:Thirty-one patients with suspected recurrent serous ovarian cancer with normal (< 35 IU/mL) serum CA125 level and no prior recurrence underwent PET/CT imaging. The results of the PET/CT were analyzed considering clinical data of the patients, histological diagnosis and 6 months follow-up.
