FIGO stage (I-IV), FIGO Committee on Gynecologic Oncology 2009 I: tumor confined to ovaries or fallopian tube(s); II: tumor involves one or both ovaries or fallopian tubes with pelvic extension (below pelvic brim) or peritoneal cancer (Tp); III: tumor involves one or both ovaries, or fallopian tubes, or primary peritoneal cancer, with cytologically or histologically confirmed spread to the peritoneum outside the pelvis and/or metastasis to the retroperitoneal lymph nodes; IV: distant metastasis excluding peritoneal metastases. ECOG (0-IV), Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group score 0: fully active, able to carry on all predisease performance without restriction; I: restricted in physically strenuous activity but ambulatory and able to carry out work of a light or sedentary nature, e.g., light housework and office work; II: ambulatory and capable of all self-care but unable to carry out any work activities; up and about more than 50% of waking hours; III: capable of only limited self-care, confined to bed or chair more than 50% of waking hours; IV: completely disabled; cannot carry out any self-care; totally confined to bed or chair; V: dead. PFS: progression-free survival; OV: overall survival.
