Abstract(s)
O carcinoma do ovário é na maioria das vezes diagnosticado num estádio avançado. Nos últimos anos a quimioterapia neoadjuvante
tem emergido como uma terapêutica alternativa para os casos de doença avançada em que não é possível uma adequada
remoção cirúrgica dos implantes tumorais, sendo a cirurgia cito-redutora adiada para uma segunda fase. A Radiologia tem vindo
a assumir um papel importante na selecção destas doentes, com definição de critérios de irressecabilidade avaliados por Tomografia
Computorizada e que se relacionam sobretudo com a localização e dimensão dos implantes.
Ovarian cancer is usually diagnosed in an advanced stage. In the last years neo-adjuvant chemotherapy has emerged as an alternative therapeutic approach in cases of advanced disease where it is not possible to optimally remove all tumoral implants, with cytoreductive surgery being postponed to a latter stage. Radiological imaging has assumed an important role in the selection of these patients, with the definition of irressectability criteria evaluated by Computed Tomography which are based mainly on the localization and dimension of tumoral implants.
