PET/Computed Tomography Transformation of Oncology: Ovarian Cancers.

Over the last quarter of a century, fluorine-18-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) PET/computed tomography (CT) has revolutionized the diagnostic algorithm of ovarian cancer, impacting on the initial disease evaluation including staging and surgical planning, treatment response assessment and prognostication, to the most important role in detection of recurrent disease. The role of FDG PET/CT is expanding with the adoption of new therapeutic agents. Other non-FDG tracers have been explored with fibroblast activation protein inhibitor being promising. Novel tracers may provide the basis for future theragnostic work. This article will review the evolution and impact of PET/CT in ovarian cancer management.
