Complete resection after debulking surgery is strongly associated with prolonged survival for advanced serous ovarian cancer (ASOC). Though positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) is more advantageous than computed tomorgraphy (CT) for detecting metastases, studies on the PET/CT prediction model for incomplete resection for ovarian cancer are insufficient. We analyzed and compared the predictive value of preoperative PET/CT score, CT score, metabolic parameters, tumor markers and hematological markers for incomplete resection after debulking surgery for ASOC.
