Abstract
Ovarian cancer is the fifth most common cancer in women in France with 4714 new cases in 2017. More than 70% of patients whose disease is initially locally advanced will present locoregional or distant recurrence. Therapeutic options in this situation are not consensual. They are based on chemotherapy possibly associated with an iterative cytoreductive surgery when it is bearable by the patient. The place of radiotherapy in the management of the disease is hidden in the vast majority of national or international standards. We conducted a general review of the literature to clarify the role of irradiation in the global management of ovarian cancers, particularly in recurrence.
