The review deals with the effectiveness of the use of positron emission tomography (PET) with 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose in the diagnosis, staging, assessment of treatment results, prognosis and monitoring of ovarian cancer. It is shown that the adequate use of PET in diagnostic algorithms can improve the accuracy of complex diagnostics, optimize the tactics of examination and treatment of patients. The opinions of researchers on the limitations of the method are presented, leading to false positive and false negative conclusions.Key words: ovarian cancer, positron emission tomography, 18F- fluorodeoxyglucose.
