In stage IV ovarian cancer the disease has spread throughout the peritoneal cavity.
True
False
Solution
The answer is True: In stage IV ovarian cancer, the disease has spread beyond the pelvis and peritoneal cavity to distant organs.
Explanation:
Stage IV ovarian cancer is the most advanced stage of the disease.
At this stage, cancer cells have spread to distant organs outside the peritoneal cavity, such as the liver or lungs.
The peritoneal cavity is the space within the abdomen that houses various organs, and the spread of cancer beyond this area indicates a more severe progression of the disease.
