No tumour in surface
Negative washings
Ovarian cancer stage 1B
Same as 1A but involves both ovaries
Ovarian cancer stage 1C1
Limited to one or both ovaries but surgical spill
Ovarian cancer stage 1C2
Capsule ruptured before surgery or tumour on ovary surface
Stage 1C3 ovarian cancer
Malignant cells in ascites or peritoneal washings
