The staging value of FDG-PET in OC patients is limited in the detection of locoregional metastases; however; its value is higher in the detection of distant lymphatic and haematogenous metastases. Moreover, FDG-PET is a valuable tool for the non-invasive assessment of histopathologic tumour response after neoadjuvant therapy..
