Stage I: Growth limited to the ovaries.
->Stage IA: growth limited to one ovary; No tumor on the
external surface; capsule intact. No ascites.
->Stage IB: growth limited to both ovaries; No tumor on the
external surfaces; capsules intact. No ascites
->Stage IC: tumor either stage IA or IB, but with tumor on the surface of one or both ovaries; or with capsule ruptured; or with ascites present containing malignant cells or with positive peritoneal washings.


Stage II:Growth involving one or both ovaries with pelvic extension.
->Stage IIA: extension and/or metastases to the uterus and/or tubes.
->Stage IIB: extension to other pelvic tissues.
->Stage IIC: tumor either stage IIA or stage IIB, with tumor on the surface of one or both ovaries; or with capsule(s)ruptured; or with ascites present containing malignant cells or with positive peritoneal washings.

Stage III: tumor involving one or both ovaries with peritoneal implants outside the pelvis and/or positive retroperitoneal or inguinal nodes. Superficial liver metastasis equals stage III. Tumor is limited to the true pelvis but with histologically verified malignant extension to small bowel or omentum.

->Stage IIIA: tumor grossly limited to the true pelvis with negative nodes but with histologically confirmed microscopic seeding of abdominal peritoneal surfaces.
->Stage IIIB: tumor of one or both ovaries with histologically confirmed implants of abdominal peritoneal surfaces, none exceeding 2 centimeters in diameter. Nodes negative.
->Stage IIIC: abdominal implants greater than 2 centimeters in diameter and/or positive retroperitoneal or inguinal nodes.

Stage IV: Growth involving one or both ovaries with distant metastasis. If pleural effusion is present, there must be positive cytologic test results to allot a case to stage IV. Parenchymal liver metastasis equals stage IV
