## Abstract We evaluated whether tracer FDG uptake, quantified as an SUV by PET in ovarian epithelial tumors, correlates with clinical stage, tumor grade, cell proliferation and glucose metabolism, all of which are biomarkers for response to chemotherapy, prognosis and overall survival in ovarian c
