In plain words
This article sets out the official staging system for cancers of the ovary, fallopian tube and peritoneum from the International Federation of Gynaecology and Obstetrics (FIGO). Staging shows how far the disease has spread and helps the doctor plan treatment. The details of each stage are not given on this card; please talk with your treating doctor about the stage of your disease.
Clinical significance and place in guidelines
This document was published by the FIGO Committee on Gynaecologic Oncology and presented as the staging classification for cancer of the ovary, fallopian tube and peritoneum. Because the PubMed record has no abstract, details of the stages and changes from previous versions cannot be extracted from this record and should be checked in the full text. Its adoption in clinical guidelines should also be checked separately.
Limitations
The PubMed record has no abstract, and only bibliographic information was available. Details of the stages and classification criteria should be extracted from the full text and confirmed by a reviewing physician.
This summary was prepared by the editorial team from the published paper; the original paper is the final reference. Read the original abstract on PubMed.
