Overview

• Ovarian cancer remains the deadliest gynecological cancer, with late-stage diagnoses contributing to high mortality and recurrence rates of up to 70%.
• Spanish centers advocate annual transvaginal ultrasounds as the most effective method for early detection, particularly in asymptomatic cases.
• AI-assisted imaging is emerging as a promising tool to enhance diagnostic accuracy for ovarian tumors, reducing reliance on invasive biopsies.
• Expert surgical teams prioritize complete cytoreductive surgery ('residuo tumoral cero') to improve survival rates, especially in advanced-stage cases.
• New treatment approaches include PARP inhibitors for BRCA-mutated tumors and fertility-preserving surgery for select young patients with early-stage, low-grade tumors.
