Popis: This is a protocol for a Cochrane Review (Diagnostic test accuracy). The objectives are as follows: To assess the diagnostic test accuracy of PET(‐CT), conventional and diffusion‐weighted MRI as an replacement or an add‐on to abdominal CT, for predicting tumour resectability at primary debulking surgery in patients with stage III – IV epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube and/or primary peritoneal cancer. To investigate the year of study initiation, the annual surgical caseload and whether surgery is performed by a gynaecological oncologist as possible sources of heterogeneity.
