The epithelial cells of the ovary constitute 1% of the total ovarian mass but constitute 90% of the ovarian neoplasms. Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) spreads initially by direct extensions into adjacent organs, especially the fallopian tubes, uterus and contralateral adnexa and occasionally the rectum, bladder and pelvic side wall. After direct extension, epithelial ovarian cancer frequently disseminates via transcoelmic route, with 70% of patients having peritoneal metastases .. View More»
