Main Article Content
ABSTRACT
Ovarian carcinoma remains an important cause of mortality and morbidity, which tends to be diagnosed at an advanced stage due to the non-specific and generalized nature of the symptoms. In this chapter, we review the clinical significance of ovarian cancer, its current diagnosis and treatment and the evolving role of nuclear medicine in the early, non-invasive detection and further management of these patients. We also consider some of the current and future theranostic possibilities in the quest for targeted treatment with fewer systemic side effects.
