Description
Summary:Summary Nineteen patients with ovarian cancer and minimal residual or persistent disease who were treated with cis-platin or carboplatin-based intraperitoneal (IP) regimens had distribution studies of IP contrast and computerized tomography prior to and during treatment. The distribution pattern was assessed retrospectively and scored for the presence of contrast in each of eight regions: the under surface of right and left diaphragms, the right and left paracolic gutters, the lesser omental sac, the intramesenteric region and the true and false pelvis. Assigning a point to each region with adequate distribution, we classified 10 patients to an excellent pattern (⩾7 of 8 regions), 6 to a good pattern (5 to
