Abstract
Hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) combined with cytoreductive surgery (CRS) (CRS-HIPEC) has revolutionized the management of peritoneal malignancies, pivoting from a palliative care approach to a treatment strategy tailored to improve overall survival. This procedure is based on the principle that local instillation of heated chemotherapeutic agents augments their cytotoxic effects, which target and eradicate microscopic disease. Imaging is integral to the management of patients undergoing HIPEC, having multiple roles that range from patient selection, preoperative assessment, and determining treatment effectiveness to postprocedural surveillance. Various imaging modalities can be used for radiologic assessment and include CT, dual-energy CT, MRI, fluorine 18-fluorodeoxyglucose PET/CT, and PET/MRI. A crucial step in assessing the feasibility of CRS-HIPEC is estimation of the peritoneal carcinomatosis index, which enables one to determine the total peritoneal disease burden and is essential for effective multidisciplinary management. Following HIPEC, the completeness of cytoreduction score and residual disease score provide a robust framework for assessing treatment efficacy and strategically guiding subsequent management and surveillance protocols. Imaging facilitates accurate evaluation of complications, as well as early recognition of residual or recurrent peritoneal disease. The authors provide a comprehensive overview of HIPEC therapy, focusing on the role of imaging in the management of patients with peritoneal malignancies, delving into the nuances of this procedure, and discussing crucial aspects related to patient selection, surgical complexity, and prediction of outcomes. ©RSNA, 2025 See the invited commentary by Wasif in this issue.

Abstract
Background68Ga-labled fibroblast activating protein inhibitor (68Ga-FAPI) represents a new and exciting positron emission tomography-computed tomography/magnetic resonance (PET-CT/MR) radiotracer.PurposeTo compare the diagnostic efficacy of 68Ga-FAPI PET CT/MR and 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) PET/CT in metastatic lesions of gynecological cancers (GCs).Material and MethodsThe PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science databases were thoroughly investigated from inception until 22 December 2023. A head-to-head contrast between 18F-FDG PET/CT as well as 68Ga-FAPI PET CT/MR for the assessment of GCs was presented by the included studies. A random variable model was employed to examine the sensitivity in detection of lymph node (LN) and peritoneal metastases (PM).ResultsThe pooled sensitivity for 68Ga-FAPI PET CT/MR and 18F-FDG PET/CT in lymph node metastases (LNM) of GC were 0.98 (95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.86-1) and 0.85 (95% CI = 0.65-0.98), respectively, while the results about peritoneal metastases in ovarian cancer were 0.98 (95% CI = 0.93-1) and 0.71 (95% CI = 0.55-0.86). Compared with 18F-FDG PET/CT, 68Ga-FAPI PET CT/MR exhibited a better sensitivity in peritoneal involvement of ovarian cancer with a relative risk of 0.24 (95% CI = 0.09-0.40) and P = 0.002.Conclusion68Ga-FAPI PET CT/MR displayed a superior sensitivity over 18F-FDG PET/CT in detecting metastatic lesions of ovarian cancer. However, there was insufficient evidence to favor the superiority of 68Ga-FAPI PET CT/MR in LNM of CC. Further studies are needed for evaluating primary and metastatic lesions of 68Ga-FAPI PET CT/MR in different GC.

Abstract
This review aims to compare the diagnostic performance of multidetector CT (MDCT), MRI, including diffusion-weighted imaging, and FDG PET/CT in the detection of peritoneal metastases (PMs) in ovarian cancer (OC). A comprehensive search was performed for articles published from 2000 to February 2023. The inclusion criteria were the following: diagnosis/suspicion of PMs in patients with ovarian/fallopian/primary peritoneal cancer; initial staging or suspicion of recurrence; MDCT, MRI and/or FDG PET/CT performed for the detection of PMs; population of at least 10 patients; surgical results, histopathologic analysis, and/or radiologic follow-up, used as reference standard; and per-patient and per-region data and data for calculating sensitivity and specificity reported. In total, 33 studies were assessed, including 487 women with OC and PMs. On a per-patient basis, MRI (p = 0.03) and FDG PET/CT (p < 0.01) had higher sensitivity compared to MDCT. MRI and PET/CT had comparable sensitivities (p = 0.84). On a per-lesion analysis, no differences in sensitivity estimates were noted between MDCT and MRI (p = 0.25), MDCT and FDG PET/CT (p = 0.68), and MRI and FDG PET/CT (p = 0.35). Based on our results, FDG PET/CT and MRI are the preferred imaging modalities for the detection of PMs in OC. However, the value of FDG PET/CT and MRI compared to MDCT needs to be determined. Future research to address the limitations of the existing studies and the need for standardization and to explore the cost-effectiveness of the three imaging modalities is required.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Early and accurate staging of ovarian cancer is paramount to disease survival. Conventional imaging including FDG PET/CT are limited in the evaluation of small metastatic lesions. 18F-Fluciclovine has minimal urine and bowel excretion allowing optimal visualization of the abdomen and pelvis. This study examines 18F-fluciclovine uptake in known primary and recurrent ovarian cancer. METHODS Seven patients with a confirmed diagnosis of epithelial ovarian cancer underwent 18F-fluciclovine PET/CT imaging. Forty-one (41) lesions were identified with 18F-fluciclovine and confirmed to be true positive (n = 41). We aim to explore if 18F-fluciclovine uptake in ovarian lesions were greater than background uptake of bone marrow, blood pool, and bladder. Quantification analysis was performed to determine max and mean standard uptake values (SUVmax and SUVmean) of known and suspected lesions compared to SUVmean uptake of background structures. RESULTS 18F-Fluciclovine demonstrated 100% sensitivity (41/41) for uptake in known ovarian lesions. The average SUVmax (±SD) uptake of known ovarian lesions was 5.9 (±2.6) and 5.1 (±2.0) on early and delayed images, respectively. The average tumor SUVmax to SUVmean of background (±SD) (T:B) ratios on early and delay were 1.9 (±0.8), 2.1 (±0.9) for marrow; 3.8 (±1.8), 3.4 (±1.5) for aorta; and 8.4 (±4.3), 1.5 (±1.7) for bladder, respectively. CONCLUSION 18F-Fluciclovine uptake in malignant ovarian lesions was above background levels suggesting its feasibility in the imaging of ovarian cancer. Due to increasing tracer washout via the urinary bladder over time, early imaging at 4 min post injection is favorable.

Abstract
The use of dual-energy computed tomography (CT) allows for reconstruction of energy- and material-specific image series. The combination of low-energy monochromatic images, iodine maps, and virtual unenhanced images can improve lesion detection and disease characterization in the gastrointestinal tract in comparison with single-energy CT.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We aimed to evaluate the long-term efficacy of consolidation hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) for patients with primary epithelial ovarian cancer. METHODS This retrospective cohort study included patients who underwent second-look surgery either with or without HIPEC after having complete or partial response to primary cytoreductive surgery and adjuvant platinum-based chemotherapy between January 1991 and December 2003 at Seoul St. Mary's Hospital. The 10-year progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), and toxicity within postoperative 28 days were investigated. RESULTS A total of 87 patients were identified, 44 (50.6%) received second-look surgery with HIPEC whereas 43 (49.4%) received only second-look surgery. The 10-year PFS and OS were significantly longer in the HIPEC group compared with the control group (PFS, 53.6% vs. 34.9%, log-rank p=0.009; OS, 57.0% vs. 34.5%, log-rank p=0.025). Multivariable analysis identified HIPEC as an independent favorable prognostic factor for PFS (adjusted hazard ratio [HR]=0.42; 95% confidence interval [CI]=0.23-0.77; p=0.005) but not for OS (adjusted HR=0.58; 95% CI=0.32-1.07; p=0.079). The more common adverse events in the HIPEC group were thrombocytopenia (90.9% vs. 68.3%, p=0.005), elevated liver enzymes (65.9% vs. 29.3%, p=0.002), and wound complications (18.2% vs. 2.4%, p=0.032). However, these adverse events were reversible and did not delay subsequent consolidation chemotherapy. CONCLUSION The consolidation HIPEC demonstrated a significant improvement in 10-year PFS but not OS, with acceptable toxicity in patients with primary epithelial ovarian cancer. Further randomized controlled trials are warranted to confirm these results.

Abstract
Peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC) refers to malignant epithelial cells that spread to the peritoneum, principally from abdominal malignancies. Until recently, PC prognosis has been considered ill-fated, with palliative therapies serving as the only treatment option. New locoregional treatments are changing the outcome of PC, and imaging modalities have a critical role in early diagnosis and disease staging, determining treatment decision making strategies. The aim of this review is to provide a practical approach for detecting and characterizing peritoneal deposits in cross-sectional imaging modalities, taking into account their appearances, including the secondary complications, the anatomical characteristics of the peritoneal cavity, together with the differential diagnosis with other benign and malignant peritoneal conditions. Among the cross-sectional imaging modalities, computed tomography (CT) is widely available and fast; however, magnetic resonance (MR) performs better in terms of sensitivity (92% vs. 68%), due to its higher contrast resolution. The appearance of peritoneal deposits on CT and MR mainly depends on the primary tumour histology; in case of unknown primary tumour (3-5% of cases), their behaviour at imaging may provide insights into the tumour origin. The timepoint of tumour evolution, previous or ongoing treatments, and the peritoneal spaces in which they occur also play an important role in determining the appearance of peritoneal deposits. Thus, knowledge of peritoneal anatomy and fluid circulation is essential in the detection and characterisation of peritoneal deposits. Several benign and malignant conditions show similar imaging features that overlap those of PC, making differential diagnosis challenging. Knowledge of peritoneal anatomy and primary tumour histology is crucial, but one must also consider clinical history, laboratory findings, and previous imaging examinations to achieve a correct diagnosis. In conclusion, to correctly diagnose PC in cross-sectional imaging modalities, knowledge of peritoneal anatomy and peritoneal fluid flow characteristics are mandatory. Peritoneal deposit features reflect the primary tumour characteristics, and this specificity may be helpful in its identification when it is unknown. Moreover, several benign and malignant peritoneal conditions may mimic PC, which need to be considered even in oncologic patients.

Abstract
Peritoneal malignancies represent a diagnostic challenge for abdominal radiologists, oncologists, surgeons and pathologists in multidisciplinary teams, who must address their differential diagnosis, staging and treatment. In this article, we explain the pathophysiology of these processes and lay out the role of different imaging techniques in their evaluation. Then, we review the clinical and epidemiological aspects, the main radiological features and the therapeutic approaches for each primary and secondary peritoneal neoplasm, with surgical and pathological correlation. We further describe other rare peritoneal tumors of uncertain origin and a variety of entities that may mimic peritoneal malignancy. Finally, we summarize the key imaging findings of each peritoneal neoplasm to facilitate an accurate differential diagnosis that may impact patient management.Clinical relevance statementImaging plays an essential role in the evaluation of peritoneal malignancies, assessing their extension, detecting unfavorable sites of involvement and facilitating an accurate differential diagnosis, helping to choose the best therapeutic approach.

[PMID: 36980790 PMCID: PMC10047411 DOI: 10.3390/cancers15061904] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/22/2023] [Revised: 03/14/2023] [Accepted: 03/17/2023] [Indexed: 03/30/2023] Open
Abstract
Maximal-effort upfront or interval debulking surgery is the recommended approach for advanced-stage ovarian cancer. The role of diagnostic imaging is to provide a systematic and structured report on tumour dissemination with emphasis on key sites for resectability. Imaging methods, such as pelvic and abdominal ultrasound, contrast-enhanced computed tomography, whole-body diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging and positron emission tomography, yield high diagnostic performance for diagnosing bulky disease, but they are less accurate for depicting small-volume carcinomatosis, which may lead to unnecessary explorative laparotomies. Diagnostic laparoscopy, on the other hand, may directly visualize intraperitoneal involvement but has limitations in detecting tumours beyond the gastrosplenic ligament, in the lesser sac, mesenteric root or in the retroperitoneum. Laparoscopy has its place in combination with imaging in cases where ima-ging results regarding resectability are unclear. Different imaging models predicting tumour resectability have been developed as an adjunctional objective tool. Incorporating results from tumour quantitative analyses (e.g., radiomics), preoperative biopsies and biomarkers into predictive models may allow for more precise selection of patients eligible for extensive surgery. This review will discuss the ability of imaging and laparoscopy to predict non-resectable disease in patients with advanced ovarian cancer.

Abstract
Peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC) refers to metastatic spread of tumor into the peritoneal cavity. Earlier, PC was thought to be associated with grave clinical outcome. However, various advances in treatment options including cytoreductive surgery and heated intraperitoneal chemotherapy or early post-operative chemotherapy can prolong survival of patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis. These treatment options are associated with high morbidity and mortality. The purpose of this article is to acquaint the radiologist about various appearances of peritoneal carcinomatosis in order to help clinicians in selecting candidates for surgery and avoid unnecessary potentially debilitating surgeries in patients with unresectable PC.

Abstract
Although rare, pediatric peritoneal carcinomatosis does occur in primary abdominopelvic tumors. Additionally, peritoneal carcinomatosis has been described to occur as metastatic disease where the primary tumor is outside the abdominopelvic cavity. Where amenable, cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) can be beneficial in disease management. However, favorable outcomes are predicated on specific tumor histology as well as proper patient selection, which significantly relies on preoperative imaging. This review gives a comprehensive, up-to-date summary on pediatric peritoneal carcinomatosis pre-surgical evaluation; where imaging is beneficial and limited; pediatric radiologists' role in helping to quantify disease; and how we, as pediatric radiologists, can help the surgeons and oncologists in the selection of patients for cytoreductive surgery and HIPEC.

Abstract
The detection of peritoneal carcinomatosis in patients with ovarian cancer is crucial to establish the correct therapeutic planning (debulking surgery versus neoadjuvant chemotherapy). Often, however, the nodules of peritoneal carcinomatosis are very small in size or have a reticular appearance that can mimic the fat stranding that is typical of acute inflammation conditions. Our hypothesis is that the use of dual-layer spectral computed tomography with its applications, such as virtual monoenergetic imaging and Z-effective imaging, might improve the detection and the characterisation of peritoneal nodules, increasing sensitivity and diagnostic accuracy, as recently described for other oncological diseases.

Abstract
Objectives Glutamate carboxypeptidase-II (GCP-II), a zinc metalloenzyme that resides in cell membrane, has been reported as overexpressed in the neovasculature of ovarian cancers. The study objective was to determine whether GCP-II targeted imaging with 18F-DCFPyL PET/CT can detect disease sites in women with advanced high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC). Materials and methods Twenty treatment-naïve women with advanced HGSOC were recruited (median age 60 years). Prior to commencing therapy (primary cytoreductive surgery [n=9] or neoadjuvant chemotherapy [n=11]), subjects underwent routine staging with contrast-enhanced abdominopelvic CT (=CT), followed by 18F-DCFPyL PET/CT (=PET). CT and PET were reported independently using a standardized reporting template assessing 25 sites. The performance of PET was compared to CT in all subjects and to surgery and surgical histopathology in 9 patients who underwent primary cytoreductive surgery. Results Of the 25 sites assessed in 20 patients, CT detected disease in 292/500 (58.4%) locations and PET detected disease in 171/500 (34.2%). Compared to CT the sensitivity (95% CI) of PET to detect disease in the upper abdomen, the gastrointestinal tract or the peritoneum was 0.29 (0.20,0.40), 0.21 (0.11,0.33) and 0.74 (0.64,0.82), respectively. In the surgical cohort, 220 sites in 9 patients were evaluated. The sensitivity and specificity of CT and PET were 0.85 versus 0.54 (p<0.001) and 0.73 versus 0.93 (p<0.001), respectively. Conclusion Although 18F-DCFPyL has higher specificity than CT in detecting advanced HGSOC tumor sites, it detects less disease sites than CT, especially in the upper abdomen and along the gastrointestinal tract, likely limiting its clinical utility. Clinical trial registration ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT03811899.

Abstract
Melanoma is the most aggressive form of skin cancer, with tendency to spread to any organ of the human body, including the gastrointestinal tract (GIT). The diagnosis of metastases to the GIT can be difficult, as they may be clinically silent for somewhile and may occur years after the initial melanoma diagnosis. CT imaging remains the standard modality for staging and surveillance of melanoma patients, and in most cases, it will be the first imaging modality to identify GIT lesions. However, interpretation of CT studies in patients with melanoma can be challenging as lesions may be subtle and random in distribution, as well as sometimes mimicking other conditions. Even so, early diagnosis of GIT metastases is critical to avoid emergency hospitalisations, whilst surgical intervention can be curative in some cases. In this review, we illustrate the various imaging presentations of melanoma metastases within the GIT, discuss the clinical aspects and offer advice on investigation and management. We offer tips intended to aid radiologists in their diagnostic skills and interpretation of melanoma imaging scans.

Abstract
Ovarian cancer is the most common cause of death due to gynecologic malignancies, with more than 70% of patients presenting with advanced stage disease at the time of diagnosis. The extent and distribution of tumor guide primary treatment selection and clinical management. While primary cytoreductive surgery with complete tumor resection improves survival, patients with extensive peritoneal disease may benefit from neoadjuvant chemotherapy first to reduce tumor burden followed by interval cytoreductive surgery. Imaging plays an essential role in triaging patients including selecting patients who may benefit from neoadjuvant chemotherapy before cytoreductive surgery. Interestingly, there are no universally established criteria to predict resectability and local practices depend on local guidelines and surgeon preferences. Nevertheless, certain anatomical tumor locations are known to be difficult to resect and are associated with suboptimal cytoreduction or require special surgical considerations. This review discusses the recent advances in the initial management of patients with ovarian cancer, a practical approach to the assessment and communication of peritoneal metastases locations on CT and MRI. It also explores recent advances in genomics profiling and radiomics that may influence the initial management of these patients.

Abstract
PURPOSE To explore the utility of CTE in the evaluation of bowel invasion in patients with primary ovarian, fallopian tube, and peritoneal cancer. METHODS This observational study included 73 patients who received CTE before operation between September 2019 and December 2021. Two radiologists reviewed CTE images, focusing on the sites and depth of bowel involvement. Based on the findings during surgical exploration, we evaluated the diagnostic power, like sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, positive predictive value (PPV), negative predictive value (NPV), positive likelihood ratio (+ LR), and negative likelihood ratio (- LR) of CTE. Additionally, the characteristic images of bowel involvement on CTE corresponding to surgical findings were shown in the study. RESULTS The rate of macroscopic bowel invasion in this cohort was 49.31% (36/73), of which eight patients had small bowel involvement, 17 patients had colon involvement and 27 patients had sigmoid-rectum involvement. CTE detected bowel invasion in the small intestine with a sensitivity, specificity, PPV, NPV, and accuracy of 87.50%, 92.31%, 58.33%, 98.36%, 91.78%; for colon, the statistics were 58.82%, 96.43%, 83.33%, 88.52%, 87.67% and for sigmoid-rectum 62.96%, 82.61%, 68.00%, 79.17%, 75.34%, respectively. CONCLUSION CTE appeared a preferable diagnostic power on the small bowel and colon invasion in patients with primary ovarian, fallopian tube, and peritoneal cancer.

Abstract
Objective Standard surgical treatment of advanced-stage ovarian carcinoma with electrosurgery cannot always result in complete cytoreductive surgery (CRS), especially when many small metastases are found on the mesentery and intestinal surface. We investigated whether adjuvant use of a neutral argon plasma device can help increase the complete cytoreduction rate. Patients and Methods 327 patients with FIGO stage IIIB–IV epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) who underwent primary or interval CRS were randomized to either surgery with neutral argon plasma (PlasmaJet) (intervention) or without PlasmaJet (control group). The primary outcome was the percentage of complete CRS. The secondary outcomes were duration of surgery, blood loss, number of bowel resections and colostomies, hospitalization, 30-day morbidity, and quality of life (QoL). Results Complete CRS was achieved in 119 patients (75.8%) in the intervention group and 115 patients (67.6%) in the control group (risk difference (RD) 8.2%, 95% confidence interval (CI) –0.021 to 0.181; P = 0.131). In a per-protocol analysis excluding patients with unresectable disease, complete CRS was obtained in 85.6% in the intervention group and 71.5% in the control group (RD 14.1%, 95% CI 0.042 to 0.235; P = 0.005). Patient-reported QoL at 6 months after surgery differed between groups in favor of PlasmaJet surgery (95% CI 0.455–8.350; P = 0.029). Other secondary outcomes did not differ significantly. Conclusions Adjuvant use of PlasmaJet during CRS for advanced-stage ovarian cancer resulted in a significantly higher proportion of complete CRS in patients with resectable disease and higher QoL at 6 months after surgery.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Imaging evaluation is an essential part of treatment planning for patients with ovarian cancer. Variation in the terminology used for describing ovarian cancer on computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging can lead to ambiguity and inconsistency in clinical radiology reports. The aim of this collaborative project between Society of Abdominal Radiology (SAR) Uterine and Ovarian Cancer (UOC) Disease-focused Panel (DFP) and the European Society of Uroradiology (ESUR) Female Pelvic Imaging (FPI) Working Group was to develop an ovarian cancer reporting lexicon for CT and MR imaging. METHODS Twenty-one members of the SAR UOC DFP and ESUR FPI working group, one radiology clinical fellow, and two gynecologic oncology surgeons formed the Ovarian Cancer Reporting Lexicon Committee. Two attending radiologist members of the committee prepared a preliminary list of imaging terms that was sent as an online survey to 173 radiologists and gynecologic oncologic physicians, of whom 67 responded to the survey. The committee reviewed these responses to create a final consensus list of lexicon terms. RESULTS An ovarian cancer reporting lexicon was created for CT and MR Imaging. This consensus-based lexicon has 6 major categories of terms: general, adnexal lesion-specific, peritoneal carcinomatosis-specific, lymph node-specific, metastatic disease -specific, and fluid-specific. CONCLUSIONS This lexicon for CT and MR imaging evaluation of ovarian cancer patients has the capacity to improve the clarity and consistency of reporting disease sites seen on imaging. KEY POINTS • This reporting lexicon for CT and MR imaging provides a list of consensus-based, standardized terms and definitions for reporting sites of ovarian cancer on imaging at initial diagnosis or follow-up. • Use of standardized terms and morphologic imaging descriptors can help improve interdisciplinary communication of disease extent and facilitate optimal patient management. • The radiologists should identify and communicate areas of disease, including difficult to resect or potentially unresectable disease that may limit the ability to achieve optimal resection.

Abstract
Multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) of the abdomen is currently the imaging examination of choice for the staging and follow-up of ovarian carcinoma (OC). Peritoneal metastases (PMs) represent the most common pathway for the metastatic spread of OC. MDCT scanners, due to several advantages-including increased volume coverage, reduced scanning time, acquisition of thin slices and creation of multiplanar reformations, and three-dimensional reconstructions-provide useful information regarding the early and accurate detection of PMs. Detailed mapping of peritoneal carcinomatosis is feasible, with improved detection of sub-centimeter peritoneal implants and thorough evaluation of curved peritoneal surfaces.

Abstract
Cytoreductive surgery in combination with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy has revolutionized the survival and the quality of life in selected patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis. Preoperative CT is important for the selection of patients that may benefit from cytoreductive surgery and is useful for surgical planning. There are several tasks for the radiologist during CT interpretation: to describe cancerous implants on a "site-by-site" basis in the peritoneum, ligaments, mesenteries and visceral surfaces, to analyze patterns of involvement and to estimate the disease burden. Knowledge of the correlation between the CT and the surgical findings enhances the understanding of the disease and facilitates the communication between radiologists and surgeons.

Abstract
Peritoneal carcinomatosis frequently occurs in advanced gastrointestinal and gynecological cancers. As factors such as poor drug uptake and distribution cause chemotherapy to be less effective, alternative therapies have been explored. Introduced in 2013, PIPAC (pressurized intraperitoneal aerosol chemotherapy) uses aerosolized chemotherapeutics sprayed into the patient’s peritoneal cavity using a laparoscopic approach. Despite the literature showing encouraging data regarding the tolerability and efficacy of PIPAC, there is a lack of articles on the role that imaging plays in selecting patients suitable for PIPAC. The aim of this study is to combine literature-based evidence and clinical experience to provide information able to support training radiologists, as well as experienced radiologists interested in innovative therapies.

Abstract
ABSTRACT A 52-year-old woman previously treated for a stage IIIc high-grade ovarian serous carcinoma presented right upper quadrant abdominal pain, 3 years after extended surgery and chemotherapy. Abdominal CT, MRI, and 18F-FDG PET/CT showed a right hepatic mass, consistent for lone recurrence nearby the hepatic lateral fissure. Preoperative and histologic examination identified a peritoneal lateral fissure lesion. The patient underwent atypic segment 5 segmentectomy. She has been disease-free for 3 years now. Advanced ovarian cancer can be responsible for perihepatic sulcus lesions, such as this right fissure lesion. They should not be mistaken for inoperable parenchyma metastases.

Abstract
Ovarian cancer (OC) is the leading cause of gynecological cancer death, and most cases are diagnosed at advanced stages due to a nonspecific and insidious clinical presentation. Radiologists play a critical role in the decision of which patients are candidates for primary debulking surgery and who may benefit from neoadjuvant chemotherapy. This pictorial review summarizes the dissemination patterns of OC, main imaging findings of metastatic disease, and which findings may alter the treatment plan or predict suboptimal tumor resection.

Abstract
Background and Objectives: 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography/X-ray computed tomography (PET/CT) represents the mainstay diagnostic procedure for suspected ovarian cancer (OC) recurrence. PET/CT can be integrated with contrast medium and in various diagnostic settings; however, the effective benefit of this procedure is still debated. We aimed to compare the diagnostic capabilities of low-dose and contrast-enhanced PET/CT (PET/ldCT and PET/ceCT) in patients with suspected ovarian cancer relapse. Materials and Methods: 122 OC patients underwent both PET/ldCT and PET/ceCT. Two groups of nuclear medicine physicians and radiologists scored the findings as positive or negative. Clinical/radiological follow-up was used as ground truth. Sensitivity, specificity, negative/positive predictive value, and accuracy were calculated at the patient and the lesion level. Results: A total of 455 and 474 lesions were identified at PET/ldCT and PET/ceCT, respectively. At the lesion level, sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, and accuracy were not significantly different between PET/ldCT and PET/ceCT (98%, 93.3%, 97.4%, 94.9%, and 96.9% for PET/ldCT; 99%, 95.5%, 98.3%, 97%, and 98% for PET/ceCT, p = ns). At the patient level, no significant differences in these parameters were identified (e.g., p = 0.22 and p = 0.35 for accuracy, in the peritoneum and lymph nodes, respectively). Smaller peritoneal/lymph node lesions close to physiological FDG uptake sources were found in the cases of misidentification by PET/ldCT. PET/ceCT prompted a change in clinical management in four cases (3.2%) compared to PET/ldCT. Conclusions: PET/ceCT does not perform better than PET/ldCT but can occasionally clarify doubtful peritoneal findings on PET/ldCT. To avoid unnecessary dose to the patient, PET/ceCT should be excluded in selected cases.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To develop a radiomics signature based on multisequence magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to preoperatively predict peritoneal metastasis (PM) in ovarian cancer (OC). METHODS Eighty-nine patients with OC were divided into a training cohort including patients (n = 54) with a single lesion and a validation cohort including patients (n = 35) with bilateral lesions. Radiomics features were extracted from the T2-weighted images (T2WIs), fat-suppressed T2WIs, multi-b-value diffusion-weighted images (DWIs), and corresponding parametric maps. A radiomics signature and nomogram incorporating the radiomics signature and clinical predictors were developed and validated on the training and validation cohorts, respectively. RESULTS The radiomics signature generated by 6 selected features showed a favorable discriminatory ability to predict PM in OC with an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.963 in the training cohort and an AUC of 0.928 in the validation cohort. The nomogram, comprising the radiomics signature, pelvic fluid, and CA-125 level, showed more favorable discrimination with an AUC of 0.969 in the training cohort and 0.944 in the validation cohort. Net reclassification index with values of 0.548 in the training cohort and 0.500 in the validation cohort. CONCLUSION Radiomics signature based on multisequence MRI serves as an effective quantitative approach to predict PM in OC patients. A nomogram of radiomics signature and clinical predictors could further improve the prediction ability of PM in patients with OC. KEY POINTS • Multisequence MRI-based radiomics showed a favorable discriminatory ability to predict PM in OC. • The nomogram incorporating the radiomics signature and clinical predictors was clinically useful to preoperatively predict PM in patients with OC.

Abstract
Epithelial ovarian cancer is the most lethal among gynecologic cancers. Despite advances in research efforts to cure this disease, the recurrence and survival rates have not significantly improved. Primary cytoreductive surgery and adjuvant chemotherapy are the standard treatment options for patients with epithelial ovarian cancer. Two randomized trials recently introduced neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by interval cytoreductive surgery as an alternative treatment option. In any case, the size of the residual tumor after surgery is the most important prognostic factor for patients with ovarian cancer. With the improvement of surgical techniques in gynecologic oncology, cytoreductive surgery is now performed for the pelvic area and entire abdomen. Currently, surgical resectability of a mass spreading into the upper abdomen is the most important factor for achieving optimal cytoreduction. In this study, we explain the procedure of a cytoreductive surgery, involving the resection of a tumor located in the upper abdomen. We aimed to review and describe the surgical techniques involved in liver mobilization, diaphragm peritonectomy, and full-thickness diaphragm resection and reconstruction. Further, we have assessed the postoperative care involved and discussed complications that may possibly arise along with suggestions to avoid them based on the review of previous literature on the subject.

Abstract
Carcinomatosis and sarcomatosis describe the widespread dissemination of metastatic neoplastic cells throughout the body. Studies describing their clinical and imaging features in veterinary patients are limited. The objective of this retrospective, multicenter, cross-sectional study is to describe the clinical, ultrasonographic, and CT features of pleural and peritoneal carcinomatosis and sarcomatosis in dogs and cats to aid detection and differentiation of these lesions. Medical records and CT and ultrasonographic images were reviewed. Although a large degree of overlap was observed between the imaging features and clinical signs of canine and feline carcinomatosis and sarcomatosis, some distinguishing features were observed. Dogs were significantly more likely to present with abdominal pain compared to cats (P = .022), whereas cats more commonly presented with inappetence (P = .019). Dogs with sarcomatosis had a significantly heavier bodyweight than dogs with carcinomatosis (P = .005), largely due to a higher prevalence of splenic hemangiosarcoma in this patient cohort. Peritoneal effusion was more frequently observed in dogs with carcinomatosis compared to dogs with sarcomatosis (P = .021). Imaging and clinical features observed in this study may help to distinguish sarcomatosis and carcinomatosis lesions. Due to the large degree of overlap observed, cytological or histopathological analysis is recommended for definitive diagnosis.

Abstract
Objective To optimize prediction for intestinal invasion of epithelial ovarian cancer. It is important to achieve debulking surgery to improve prognosis in ovarian cancer; intestinal resection is adopted if the cancer is invaded and resectable, but the preoperative evaluation method of intestinal invasion is still controversial. Methods Patients (n = 174) who underwent primary debulking surgery for epithelial ovarian cancer were recruited for retrospective study; 28 and 146 patients were classified into the invasion and non‐invasion groups, whether they needed intestinal resection or not. We collected clinical data including evaluation of computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and barium contrast radiography, and analyzed their accuracy. Results The sensitivity and specificity for intestinal invasion were 33.3% and 98.6%, 42.9% and 98.6%, and 66.7% and 93.9% in CT, MRI, and barium contrast radiography, respectively. CT and MRI combined showed a sensitivity of 58.3% and specificity of 96.9%; all three methods combined was the most sensitive combination, showing a sensitivity of 79.2% and specificity of 90.8%. Conclusion Combination of CT, MRI, and barium contrast radiography predicts intestinal invasion with the highest sensitivity. These three modalities, however, could not predict all intestinal invasion. Patients should be informed of the possibility of unexpected extensive resection. Combination of CT, MRI, and barium contrast radiography give the best prediction of intestinal invasion in ovarian cancer.

Abstract
The perihepatic space is frequently involved in a spectrum of diseases, including intrahepatic lesions extending to the liver capsule and disease conditions involving adjacent organs extending to the perihepatic space or spreading thanks to the communication from intraperitoneal or extraperitoneal sites through the hepatic ligaments. Lesions resulting from the dissemination of peritoneal processes may also affect the perihepatic space. Here we discuss how to assess the perihepatic origin of a lesion and describe the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) features of normal structures and fluids that may be abnormally located in the perihepatic space. We then review and illustrate the MRI findings present in cases of perihepatic infectious, tumor-related, and miscellaneous conditions. Finally, we highlight the value of MRI over computed tomography.

Simulation Study of Low-Dose Sparse-Sampling CT with Deep Learning-Based Reconstruction: Usefulness for Evaluation of Ovarian Cancer Metastasis. APPLIED SCIENCES-BASEL 2020.

Abstract
The usefulness of sparse-sampling CT with deep learning-based reconstruction for detection of metastasis of malignant ovarian tumors was evaluated. We obtained contrast-enhanced CT images (n = 141) of ovarian cancers from a public database, whose images were randomly divided into 71 training, 20 validation, and 50 test cases. Sparse-sampling CT images were calculated slice-by-slice by software simulation. Two deep-learning models for deep learning-based reconstruction were evaluated: Residual Encoder-Decoder Convolutional Neural Network (RED-CNN) and deeper U-net. For 50 test cases, we evaluated the peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) and structural similarity (SSIM) as quantitative measures. Two radiologists independently performed a qualitative evaluation for the following points: entire CT image quality; visibility of the iliac artery; and visibility of peritoneal dissemination, liver metastasis, and lymph node metastasis. Wilcoxon signed-rank test and McNemar test were used to compare image quality and metastasis detectability between the two models, respectively. The mean PSNR and SSIM performed better with deeper U-net over RED-CNN. For all items of the visual evaluation, deeper U-net scored significantly better than RED-CNN. The metastasis detectability with deeper U-net was more than 95%. Sparse-sampling CT with deep learning-based reconstruction proved useful in detecting metastasis of malignant ovarian tumors and might contribute to reducing overall CT-radiation exposure.

Abstract
It is well known that during ovarian cancer progression, the omentum transforms from a thin lacy organ to a thick tougher tissue. However, the mechanisms regulating this transformation and the implications of the altered microenvironment on ovarian cancer progression remain unclear. To address these questions, the global and local concentrations of collagen I were determined for normal and metastatic human omentum. Collagen I was increased 5.3-fold in omenta from ovarian cancer patients and localized to areas of activated fibroblasts rather than regions with a high density of cancer cells. Transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGFβ1) was detected in ascites from ovarian cancer patients (4 ng/mL), suggesting a potential role for TGFβ1 in the observed increase in collagen. Treatment with TGFβ1 induced fibroblast activation, proliferation, and collagen deposition in mouse omental explants and an in vitro model with human omental fibroblasts. Finally, the impact of increased collagen I on ovarian cancer cells was determined by examining proliferation on collagen I gels formulated to mimic normal and cancerous omenta. While collagen density alone had no impact on proliferation, a synergistic effect was observed with collagen density and heparin-binding epidermal growth factor treatment. These results suggest that TGFβ1 induces collagen deposition from the resident fibroblasts in the omentum and that this altered microenvironment impacts cancer cell response to growth factors found in ascites. Impact statement Using quantitative analysis of patient samples, in vitro models of the metastatic ovarian cancer microenvironment were designed with pathologically relevant collagen densities and growth factor concentrations. Studies in these models support a mechanism where transforming growth factor β1 in the ascites fluid induces omental fibroblast proliferation, activation, and deposition of collagen I, which then impacts tumor cell proliferation in response to additional ascites growth factors such as heparin-binding epidermal growth factor. This approach can be used to dissect mechanisms involved in microenvironmental modeling in multiple disease applications.

Abstract
Rationale and objectives To evaluate the impact of metabolic parameters in the peritoneal cavity on the likelihood of achieving complete tumor debulking in patients with ovarian and peritoneal cancers. Materials and methods Forty-nine patients with ovarian and peritoneal cancers were included, who underwent pre-operative 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography (18F-FDG PET/CT). The immediate surgical outcome was dichotomized into complete and incomplete tumor debulking. 18F-FDG PET/CT was qualitatively and quantitatively assessed by scrutinizing 15 anatomical sites for the presence of peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC). Patient-based and site-based diagnostic characteristics were described. Metabolic parameters (SUVmax, metabolic tumor volume and total lesion glycolysis) and the number of 18F-FDG avid peritoneal sites were evaluated between the two groups. Receiver operating curve (ROC) analysis was performed to determine the optimal cut-off value in predicting incomplete tumor debulking. Results Twenty-seven out of the 49 patients had PC and 11 had incomplete debulking. Patient-based and site-based accuracies for detection of PC were 87.8 and 97.6%, respectively. The number of 18F-FDG avid peritoneal sites was significantly different between complete and incomplete debulking groups (0.6 ± 0.8 versus 2.3 ± 1.7 sites respectively, p = 0.001), and the only independent significant risk factor among other metabolic parameters tested (odd ratio = 2.983, 95% CI 1.104–8.062) for incomplete tumor debulking with an optimal cut-off value of ≥4 (AUC = 0.816). Conclusion The number of 18F-FDG avid peritoneal sites increased the risk of incomplete tumor debulking after surgery and potentially useful in assisting treatment stratification in patients with ovarian and peritoneal cancers.

Abstract
Pelvic masses can present a diagnostic challenge owing to the difficulty in assessing their origin and the overlap in imaging features. The majority of pelvic tumors arise from gastrointestinal or genitourinary organs, with less common sites of origin including the connective tissues, nerves, and lymphovascular structures. Lesion evaluation usually starts with clinical assessment followed by imaging, or the lesion may be an incidental finding at imaging performed for other clinical indications. Since accurate diagnosis is essential for optimal management, imaging is useful for suggesting the correct diagnosis or narrowing the differential possibilities and distinguishing tumors from their mimics. Some masses may require histologic confirmation of the diagnosis with biopsy and/or up-front surgical resection. In this case, imaging is essential for presurgical planning to assess mass size and location, evaluate the relationship to adjacent pelvic structures, and narrow differential possibilities. Pelvic US is often the first imaging modality performed in women with pelvic symptoms. While US is often useful to detect a pelvic mass, it has significant limitations in assessing masses located deep in the pelvis or near gas-filled organs. CT also has limited value in the pelvis owing to its inferior soft-tissue contrast. MRI is frequently the optimal imaging modality, as it offers both multiplanar capability and excellent soft-tissue contrast. This article highlights the normal anatomy of the pelvic spaces in the female pelvis and focuses on MRI features of common tumors and tumor mimics that arise in these spaces. It provides an interpretative algorithm for approaching an unknown pelvic lesion at MRI. It also discusses surgical management, emphasizing the value of MRI as a road map to surgery and highlighting anatomic locations where surgical resection may present a challenge. ©RSNA, 2019.

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.

Abstract
Appropriate and accurate pre-operative imaging in epithelial ovarian cancer patients may allow selection of patients that may mostly benefit either from primary cytoreductive surgery or from neoadjuvant chemotherapy. If the patient is considered suitable for upfront surgery, pre-operative imaging may help in planning the surgical approach, to forecast the operating time, and to estimate the need for other consulting specialists. Currently, computed tomography (CT) imaging is the standard of care for pre-operative evaluation of ovarian cancer patients; however, advanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is emerging as a technique that may overcome the limitations of CT imaging, especially for small peritoneal deposits in difficult-to-resect sites. Positron emission tomography (PET)-CT imaging in the pre-operative setting is currently limited, whereas the use of the new hybrid technique PET-MRI is still under evaluation. Since criteria that may preclude optimal cytoreductive surgery may vary, depending on the aggressiveness of the surgical procedure and surgeon skill, multidisciplinary consensus conferences are the ideal platform to evaluate extent of the disease and surgical strategy.

Abstract
PURPOSE Ovarian cancer (OC) is the commonest cause of death by gynaecological cancer in developed countries. Peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC) complete debulking without residual disease of >1 cm is the best prognostic predictor in advanced OC. PC is assessed with Computed tomography (CT). CT accuracy and cytoreduction success predictive ability are limited. PET/CT is not an imaging standard for PC. PC shows high signal foci in Diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DWI MRI). We assessed the diagnostic performance (DP) and tumour burden correlation of Whole body DWI with background suppression MRI (WB-DWIBS/MRI) in PC of suspected OC using the Peritoneal Cancer Index (PCI), referring to cytoreduction surgery as the standard reference. METHOD Fifty patients with suspicion of disseminated OC underwent cytoreduction and WB-DWIBS/MRI. The PCI scores tumour burden (0-3) in 13 anatomical regions (global range of 0-39). Two radiologists (Rad1/Rad2) assessed the PCI preoperatively and with surgical findings. We evaluated regional and global DP, the interobserver agreement (Cohen´s kappa coefficient), statistical differences (McNemar test) and tumour burden (Pearson's test). RESULTS 72% (36/50) were epithelial OC and 78% (39/50) achieved complete cytoreduction. Global-PCI correlation was 0.762 (Rad1) with DP: Sensitivity 0.84, specificity 0.89, accuracy 0.89, and kappa 0.41. Average global-PCI was 7. The pelvis and right hypochondrium showed the highest positive rate and DP, while the intestinal regions presented the lowest. Previous studies reported higher sensitivity than CT or PET/CT, although only a few used the PCI. CONCLUSIONS WB-DWIBS/MRI is reliable to depict, quantify and to predict complete cytoreductive surgery in OC PC.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We describe a systematic review and meta-analysis of the performance of ¹⁸F-fluorodeoxyglucose (¹⁸F-FDG) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) for detecting metastasis in ovarian cancer. METHODS MEDLINE and Embase were searched for diagnostic accuracy studies that used ¹⁸F-FDG PET or PET/CT for pre-treatment staging, using surgical findings as the reference standard. Sensitivities and specificities were pooled and plotted in a hierarchic summary receiver operating characteristic plot. Potential causes of heterogeneity were explored through sensitivity analyses. RESULTS Eight studies with 594 patients were included. The overall pooled sensitivity and specificity for metastasis were 0.72 (95% confidence interval [CI]=0.61-0.81) and 0.93 (95% CI=0.85-0.97), respectively. There was considerable heterogeneity in sensitivity (I²=97.57%) and specificity (I²=96.74%). In sensitivity analyses, studies that used laparotomy as the reference standard showed significantly higher sensitivity and specificity (0.77; 95% CI=0.67-0.87 and 0.96; 95% CI=0.92-0.99, respectively) than those including diagnostic laparoscopy (0.62; 95% CI=0.46-0.77 and 0.84; 95% CI=0.69-0.99, respectively). Higher specificity was shown in studies that confirmed surgical findings by pathologic evaluation (0.95; 95% CI=0.90-0.99) than in a study without pathologic confirmation (0.69; 95% CI=0.24-1.00). Studies with a lower prevalence of the FDG-avid subtype showed higher specificity (0.97; 95% CI=0.94-1.00) than those with a greater prevalence (0.89; 95% CI=0.80-0.97). CONCLUSION Pre-treatment ¹⁸F-FDG PET/CT shows moderate sensitivity and high specificity for detecting metastasis in ovarian cancer. With its low false-positive rate, it can help select surgical approaches or alternative treatment options.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate whether extending the MRI scan to include the abdomen at the time of adnexal mass characterization could replace additional CT for peritoneal cancer index (PCI) assessment. METHODS After institutional review board approval for this prospective study, 36 consecutive females with ovarian and FT malignancies were included. All patients signed an informed consent. Patients underwent preoperative CT (32 patients) and MRI (36 patients). Images were interpreted by 2 independent observers. Surgical data were available in 27 patients. Region-by-region analysis was performed for detection rates of peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC). Inter-observer agreement for each region was evaluated by kappa statistics. Radiologic PCI was calculated by CT and MRI independently and inter-observer agreement for CT and MRI as well as agreement between radiologic and surgical PCI were evaluated by weighted-kappa statistics. RESULTS On region-by-region analysis, the highest detection rates of PC were noted at the central abdomen and pelvis. Detection rates were higher by MRI than CT, mainly in bowel serosal surface, pelvis, and right upper abdomen regions. Inter-observer agreement of MRI was higher than CT in most regions. The median PCI by CT was 5 and 4 for the first and second observers (range 0-21 for both observers), respectively. The median PCI by MRI was 6 (range 0-23 for both observers). The inter-observer agreement of PCI was excellent by both CT and MRI (k = 0.876 and k = 0.912, respectively). The agreement between CT and surgical PCI was 0.660 and 0.590 for the first and second observers, respectively. The agreement between MRI and surgical PCI was 0.797 and 0.798 for the first and second observers, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Extending MRI scan to include the abdomen at the time of adnexal mass characterization allows accurate estimation of PC, with better results than CT, obviating the need for dedicated CT scan of abdomen and pelvis for imaging of PC.

Abstract
Recent advances, specifically cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (CRS/HIPEC), offer advantages compared to the traditional therapeutic approach of systemic chemotherapy in the treatment of peritoneal carcinomatosis from mucinous appendiceal neoplasms (MAN). This review provides an up-to-date, comprehensive summary of the histologic classification of MAN, reviews common imaging findings of mucoceles and pseudomyxoma peritonei, and describes the radiologist's role in the multidisciplinary care team in quantifying disease and in helping select patients for definitive surgery.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Completeness of cytoreduction is the most important prognostic factor in patients with advanced ovarian cancer (OC). Extensive upper abdominal surgery has allowed to increase the rate complete cytoreduction and the feasibility of resection of celiac lymph nodes (CLN) and porta hepatis disease in these patients has been demonstrated. The aim of our study was to assess the prognostic impact of CLN involvement in patients with primary advanced OC undergoing a complete cytoreductive surgery (CRS). MATERIAL AND METHODS We designed a retrospective unicentric study. We reviewed data from patients who underwent CLN resection with or without porta hepatis disease resection, within upfront or interval complete CRS in the frontline treatment of advanced epithelial OC between January 2008 and December 2015. Patients were classified in two groups according to CLN status. Univariate and multivariate analyses were conducted. Survival rates were estimated using Kaplan-Meier method. RESULTS Forty-three patients were included and positive CLN were found in 39.5% of them. The median disease-free survival in the group of patients with positive and negative CLN were 11.3 months and 25.8 months, respectively. In multivariable analysis, both CLN involvement and high peritoneal cancer index were independently associated with decreased disease-free survival. Computed tomography re-reading by an expert radiologist has good sensitivity for detection of positive CLN. CONCLUSION CLN involvement and high preoperative tumor burden are independently associated with decreased survival after complete cytoreduction for OC. CLN involvement is a marker of diffuse disease and an independent risk factor for early recurrent disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The most important goal for survival benefit of advanced stage ovarian cancer is to surgically remove all visible tumour, because complete cytoreductive surgery (CCS) has been shown to be associated with prolonged survival. In a remarkable number of women, CCS is very challenging. Especially in women with many small metastases on the peritoneum and intestinal surface, conventional CCS with electrosurgery is not able to be "complete" in removing safely all visible tumour. In this randomized controlled trail (RCT) we investigate whether the use of the PlasmaJet Surgical Device increases the rate of CCS, and whether this indeed leads to a longer progression free and overall survival. The main research question is: does the use of the PlasmaJet Surgical Device in surgery for advanced stage ovarian cancer result in an increased number of complete cytoreductive surgeries when compared with conventional surgical techniques. Secondary study objectives are: 30-day morbidity, duration of surgery, blood loss, length of hospitalisation, Quality of Life, disease-free survival, overall survival, percentage colostomy, cost-effectiveness. METHODS The study design is a multicentre single-blinded superiority RCT in two university and nine non-university hospitals in The Netherlands. Three hundred and thirty women undergoing cytoreductive surgery for advanced stage ovarian carcinoma (FIGO Stage IIIB-IV) will be randomized into two arms: use of the PlasmaJet (intervention group) versus the use of standard surgical instruments combined with electrocoagulation (control group). The primary outcome is the rate of complete cytoreductive surgery in both groups. Secondary study objectives are: 30-day morbidity, duration of surgery, blood loss, length of hospitalisation, Quality of Life, disease-free survival, overall survival, percentage colostomy, cost-effectiveness. Quality of life will be evaluated using validated questionnaires at baseline, at 1 and 6 months after surgery and at 1, 2, 3 and 4 years after surgery. DISCUSSION We hypothesize the additional value of the use of the PlasmaJet in CCS for advanced stage epithelial ovarian cancer. More knowledge about efficacy, side effects, recurrence rates, cost effectiveness and pathology findings after using the PlasmaJet Device is advocated. This RCT may aid in this void.

Abstract
Gynaecological malignancies are the most common malignancies in women and also an important public health issue. In developing countries, there is a paucity of screening facilities and cancer awareness, so patients present at an advanced stage of disease, which severely limits the prognosis and clinical outcome. Among the gynaecological malignancies, ovarian malignancy has the second highest incidence in women according to the incidences. Ovarian malignancy is usually diagnosed at the advanced stages, and to improve the patient’s survival, debulking surgery is very important. Advanced-stage disease is treated with either debulking surgery followed by adjuvant chemotherapy or initial neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by debulking surgery. Imaging is very important in patient selection, in determining who will benefit from neoadjuvant chemotherapy just before debulking surgery. This article highlights the role of computed tomography (CT) in the detection of patterns of spread of ovarian malignancy, important for staging and management.

Abstract
Complete surgical resection is the ideal cure for ovarian peritoneal carcinomatosis, but remains challenging. Fluorescent guided surgery can be a promising approach for precise cytoreduction when appropriate fluorophore is used. In the presence paper, we review already developed near- and short-wave infrared fluorescent nanoparticles, which are currently under investigation for peritoneal carcinomatosis fluorescence imaging. We also highlight the main ways to improve the safety of nanoparticles, for fulfilling prerequisites of clinical application.
