OBJECTIVE: To determine which computed tomography (CT) imaging features predict @entity5 in @entity1 with @entity43 (EOC) using video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS), pathology, and cytology findings as the reference standard. METHODS: This retrospective study included 44 @entity1 with International Federation of Obstetrics and Gynecology (FIGO) stage III or IV primary or recurrent EOC who had chest CT  <=30 days before VATS. Two radiologists independently reviewed the CT studies and recorded the presence and size of @entity1143 ; pleural nodules, thickening, enhancement, subdiaphragmatic @entity5 deposits and supradiaphragmatic, mediastinal, hilar, and retroperitoneal adenopathy; and peritoneal seeding. VATS, pathology, and cytology findings constituted the reference standard. RESULTS: In 26/44 (59%) @entity1 , pleural biopsies were malignant. Only the size of @entity1143 (reader 1: rho=-0.39, p=0.01; reader 2: rho=-0.37, p=0.01) and presence of @entity843 (reader 1: rho=-0.33, p=0.03; reader 2: rho=-0.35, p=0.03) were significantly associated with solid @entity3 . Pleural fluid cytology was malignant in 26/35 (74%) @entity1 . Only the presence (p=0.03 for both readers) and size (reader 1: rho=0.34, p=0.04; reader 2: rho=0.33, p=0.06) of @entity1143 were associated with @entity3483 . Interobserver agreement was substantial (kappa=0.78) for effusion size and moderate (kappa=0.46) for presence of solid @entity456 . No other CT features were associated with @entity5 at biopsy or cytology. CONCLUSION: In @entity1 with advanced EOC, @entity843 and @entity1143 size were associated with solid @entity3 , while the presence and size of right-sided effusion were associated with @entity3483 . No other CT features evaluated were associated with @entity5 .
