MRI with diffusion-weighted imaging to predict feasibility of complete cytoreduction with the peritoneal cancer index (PCI) in advanced stage ovarian cancer patients

European Journal of Radiology Apr 25, 2019

Engbersen MP, et al. - In evaluating the peritoneal tumor load and predicting if a complete cytoreduction can be achieved in patients with epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC), researchers determined the diagnostic performance of MRI with diffusion-weighted imaging (DW-MRI) in this observational prospective study. Participants in the study were 25 patients with epithelial ovarian cancer scheduled for cytoreductive surgery. Before surgery, patients underwent a 3 T DW-MRI scan. In predicting the Surgical Peritoneal Cancer Index, DW-MRI is accurate and can be helpful in predicting whether a complete resection in patients with ovarian cancer is possible.
