Diagnostic accuracy of contrast-enhanced CT versus PET/CT for advanced ovarian cancer staging: a comparative systematic review and meta-analysis.

Contrast-enhanced CT demonstrates non-inferior sensitivity compared to PET/CT, although PET/CT may still serve as an alternative and/or supplement to CT alone prior to and/or in lieu of diagnostic laparoscopy in patients with ovarian cancer. Future revisions to existing guidelines should consider these results to further refine the individualized pretherapeutic diagnostic pathway.
