Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews Protocol - Diagnostic
Positron emission tomography (PET) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for assessing tumour resectability in advanced epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube and/or primary peritoneal cancer
Abstract
This is a protocol for a Cochrane Review (Diagnostic test accuracy). The objectives are as follows:
To assess the diagnostic test accuracy of PET(‐CT), conventional and diffusion‐weighted MRI as an replacement or an add‐on to abdominal CT, for predicting tumour resectability at primary debulking surgery in patients with stage III – IV epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube and/or primary peritoneal cancer.
