[Value of x-ray computed tomography in the monitoring of cancer of the ovary. Apropos of 69 cases]. 1986

M Giwerc, and J Masselot, and M George, and F Rochard, and C Haie

The authors have studied retrospectively, a group of 69 patients with primitive carcinoma of the ovary who underwent at most one CT examination following the first surgical treatment. In 26 out of these, CT was done within the three months following a second surgical operation. Peritoneal metastases were inconsistently seen (5 true positive, 9 true negative, 0 false positive, 9 false negative). The sensitivity is 36%, the specificity 100% and the accuracy 65%. The score is better in the detection of lymphatic, hepatic and intestinal metastases.
