Prognostic importance of peritoneal lesion-to-primary tumour standardized uptake value ratio in advanced serous epithelial ovarian cancer

ConclusionsIn patients with advanced serous EOC, preoperative SUVperit/SUVovary measured by [18F]FDG PET/CT provides significant incremental performance for prediction of recurrence.Key points• PET/CT data from advanced serous epithelial ovarian cancer patients were analysed.• Prognostic value of SUV ratio between metastatic and primary tumour was investigated.• SUVperit/SUVovaryprovides incremental performance for prediction of recurrence.
