In Europe, it ranks fifth in frequency in women after malignancies of the mammary gland, colon, lung and uterine body. Generally, it is diagnosed at an advanced stage (III-IV) due to the non-specificity of symptoms in the early stage and the lack of effective screening methods. The majority of patients with advanced epithelial ovarian cancer are indicated either for neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by optimal cytoreduction or optimal cyto-reduction followed by adjuvant chemotherapy.
