Table 1. Operative Staging of Ovarian Cancer (FIGO)
Stage I Growth limited to ovaries
Stage la Growth limited to 1 ovary; no ascites; no tumor on external
surface; capsule intact
lb Growth limited to both ovaries; no ascites; no tumor on
external surfaces; capsule intact
Ic* Tumor stage la or lb, on surface of 1 or both ovaries; or
with capsule ruptures; or with ascites present containing
malignant cells or positive peritoneal washings
Stage II Growth involving 1 or both ovaries with pelvic extension
Ila Extension and/or metastases to uterus and/or tubes
lib Extension to other pelvic tissues
lie* Tumor stage Ha or lib, on surface of 1 or both ovaries; or
with capsule(s) ruptured; or with ascites present containing
malignant cells or positive peritoneal washings
Stage III Tumor involving 1 or both ovaries with peritoneal implants
outside pelvis and/or positive retroperitoneal or inguinal
nodes; superficial liver metastases - stage III; tumor limited
to true pelvis but with histologically proven malignant
extension to small bowel or omentum
Ilia Tumor grossly hmited to true pelvis with negative nodes but
with histologically confirmed microscopic seeding of
abdominal peritoneal surfaces
Illb Tumor in 1 or both ovaries with histologically confirmed
implants of abdominal peritoneal surfaces, none >2 cm in
diameter; negative nodes
Ilk Abdominal implants >2 cm in diameter and/or positive
retroperitoneal or inguinal nodes
Stage IV Growth involving 1 or both ovaries with distant metastases;
if pleural effusion is present, cytology must be positive to
allot case to stage TV; parenchymal liver metastases - stage
*To evaluate prognostic impact of findings and assign case to Ic or lie, it would
be helpful to know if rupture of capsule was spontaneous or caused by surgeon
and if source of malignant cells was peritoneal washings or ascites
