Diagnostic performance of a radiological Fagotti score assessed on diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging for predicting tumor resectability in ovarian cancer patients: a feasibility study
According to the study results, the assessment of the Fagotti score on preoperative imaging with DW-MRI is feasible and useful in predicting tumor resectability in patients with ovarian cancer. Furthermore, an MRI Fagotti score higher than 6 is associated with worse oncological outcomes. However, further studies on a larger patient population are needed to confirm our results.
