- Title
Staging of ovarian cancer: time to subdivide more?
- Authors
Denny, Lynette
- Abstract
The author reflects on article by D.H. Suh and colleagues related to the staging of ovarian cancer. He mentions that Suh in his article assigned stage 1 patients to three categories including surgical or intraoperative spill, preoperative rupture and ascites or peritoneal washes positive for malignant cells which were not distinguished earlier by the International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO). He states that subdivision in cancer staging is helpful in its treatment.
