🎗️ Ovarian / Tubal / Peritoneal Cancer FIGO 2014 Stage
Assign the FIGO 2014 stage for ovarian, fallopian-tube and primary peritoneal cancer from confinement, pelvic spread, retroperitoneal nodes and distant disease. Instant, browser-side.
Clinical takeaway
Splenic/hepatic capsule (surface) disease is IIIC, but hepatic/splenic parenchymal metastasis is IVB — a common staging pitfall.

When to use
Staging and management direction for ovarian/tubal/peritoneal cancer, which share a single FIGO system.
How it works
I confined to gonads (IA/IB/IC1 intraoperative rupture/IC2 pre-op rupture or surface/IC3 washings positive); II pelvic extension (IIA/IIB); III nodes or extrapelvic peritoneum (IIIA1 i ≤ 10 / ii > 10 mm, IIIA2 micro, IIIB ≤ 2 cm, IIIC > 2 cm); IVA pleural cytology, IVB parenchymal/extra-abdominal.
Key points
- Splenic/hepatic capsule (surface) disease is IIIC, but hepatic/splenic parenchymal metastasis is IVB — a common staging pitfall.
- Stage IC is split by mechanism: IC1 surgical spill, IC2 pre-operative rupture or surface tumour, IC3 positive ascites/washings.
- Early disease has comprehensive staging surgery ± platinum/taxane chemotherapy; advanced disease has cytoreduction aiming for no gross residual.
- BRCA-mutant / HRD-positive advanced disease is offered PARP-inhibitor maintenance.

Worked calculation
The values below come from this tool's own example placeholders and are computed server-side with the formula shown on this page, so the arithmetic can be checked quickly. It demonstrates how to substitute values only — it is not clinical advice and not a real case.
| When confined to ovary/tube | IA — unilateral, capsule intact, no surface tumour, washings negative |
|---|---|
| Pelvic extension (below pelvic brim) | None |
| Retroperitoneal nodes (nodes only, no peritoneal spread) | None |
| Extrapelvic peritoneal spread | None |
| Distant metastasis | None |
→FIGO stageStage IA
- FIGO 2014 stage：Stage IA (unilateral, capsule intact, washings negative)
- Management direction：Comprehensive staging surgery (total hysterectomy + BSO + omentectomy + peritoneal biopsies + pelvic/para-aortic node assessment ± washings); IA/IB low-grade may be observed, IC or high-grade → platinum + paclitaxel adjuvant chemotherapy; fertility-sparing may be considered in selected early disease
- Notes：Ovarian/tubal/peritoneal cancers share one staging system; stage by the highest level of involvement; retroperitoneal nodes need cytologic or histologic confirmation; splenic/hepatic capsule involvement is IIIC, whereas hepatic/splenic parenchymal metastasis is IVB
| When confined to ovary/tube | IC3 — malignant cells in ascites/washings |
|---|---|
| Pelvic extension (below pelvic brim) | IIB — other pelvic peritoneal tissue |
| Retroperitoneal nodes (nodes only, no peritoneal spread) | IIIA1(ii) — > 10 mm |
| Extrapelvic peritoneal spread | IIIC — macroscopic > 2 cm (incl. splenic/hepatic capsule) |
| Distant metastasis | IVB — hepatic/splenic parenchyma or extra-abdominal |
→FIGO stageStage IVB
- FIGO 2014 stage：Stage IVB (hepatic/splenic parenchyma or extra-abdominal)
- Management direction：Cytoreductive surgery (aim for optimal / no gross residual) + platinum/paclitaxel chemotherapy ± bevacizumab; BRCA-mutant / HRD-positive → PARP inhibitor maintenance; bulky or unresectable advanced disease may have neoadjuvant chemotherapy then interval cytoreduction
- Notes：Ovarian/tubal/peritoneal cancers share one staging system; stage by the highest level of involvement; retroperitoneal nodes need cytologic or histologic confirmation; splenic/hepatic capsule involvement is IIIC, whereas hepatic/splenic parenchymal metastasis is IVB
