PET/CT Detecting Recurrent Ovarian Cancer: A Case Study

This case study discusses the use of PET/CT imaging in detecting recurrent ovarian cancer in a 41-year-old female who previously underwent primary surgery and chemotherapy. The elevated serum CA-125 levels prompted further investigation, leading to the discovery of a tumor through PET/CT imaging.

  1. Whole body PET/CT for the detection of recurrent ovarian cancer Nan-Jing Peng

  2. Abstract: A 41 year-old female was a case of ovarian serous papillary adenocarcinoma FIGO stage IIIc underwent primary cytoreductive surgery and postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy with 6 courses of paclitaxel and carboplatin.The nadir of serum CA-125 level was 6 U/ml. Three years after front-line treatment, serum CA-125 level elevated from 5.7 to 6.1, 9.3 and 12.8 U/ml. As such, FDG-PET/CT was performed and showed a 1.6 cm nodule over retro-cava space (SUVmax= 3.3).Secondary cytoreductive surgery was performed and a retroperitoneum tumor located beneath inferior vena cava was removed. The pathology report proved to be metastatic serous papillary adenocarcinoma. Key Words : Ovarian cancer, CA-125, FDG, PET/CT

  3. PET/CT Impression: Lymph node metastasis to retro-cavaspace is highly suspected (SUVmax: 3.3).
