The vast majority of women diagnosed with ovarian cancer and subsequently treated with debulking surgery and adjuvant chemotherapy will ultimately relapse. As is the case with primary diagnosis, detection of recurrent ovarian cancer is limited due to lack of sensitivity and specificity. Specific guidelines for surveillance of this disease are controversial, partly because evidence to support such guidelines is scant and partly because the management of identified recurrences continues to be of minimal success. Subsequently, whether early detection actually can make a difference is not necessarily made clear in the literature. However, there are advances in radiological and molecular biology technology that may offer new possibilities in cancer surveillance. This review will outline the latest evidence to address their use in ovarian cancer.
