Diaphragm muscle involvement is a predictor of thorax recurrences and worse survival outcomes in stage 3B and 3C ovarian-tubal-peritoneal epithelial cancers. Thus, this should be considered when selecting appropriate adjuvant treatment and route of administration (intravenous/intraperitoneal) in patients who had diaphragm implants infiltrating diaphragm muscle.
