The lack of gynecologic-specific symptoms and effective early detection methods for ovarian cancer leads to a preponder‐ ance of late-stage diagnoses. Ovarian cancer is a surgically-staged and treated disease, and the application of appropriate, guidelines-based treatment is currently the only option to re‐ duce ovarian cancer mortality [2].
