- Abstract: Epithelial ovarian cancer has been traditionally treated with cytoreductive surgery and chemotherapy. Optimal surgery is the key to improving the prognosis, and, thus, preoperative imaging should be carefully assessed to determine if the involvement of gastrointestinal, vascular, or thoracic surgeons is necessary to achieve this. Consequently, gynecologists should be able to recognize which imaging features suggest optimal or suboptimal resection. The aim of this review was to present the preoperative imaging features indicating suboptimal resection of epithelial ovarian cancer.
