In order to ensure that ovarian cancer patients access appropriate treatment to improve the outcome of this disease, accurate characterization before any surgery on ovarian pathology is essential. The International Ovarian Tumor Analysis (IOTA) collaboration has standardized the approach to the ultrasound description of adnexal pathology. This article summarizes the IOTA study which was carried out in over 20 different centres in different countries and gives recommendations for clinical practice based on the findings of the study. The article is available freely.
