Frequently at first: Often, there is very close follow up after ovarian cancer treatment - every 3-4 months generally. Once the cancer is in remission for over a year or so, this may extend to every 6 months. The exact follow-up schedule will depend on the type of ovarian cancer, stage of the cancer, and type of treatment.

Surveillance with: Visits and exams are cheap and easy, imaging is expensive and not very sensitive or specific, and second look laparascopy was a standard, not sure that invasive "looks" are cost effective or still needed (does the findings lead to curative therapy?) ask you gyn onc what the latest is and why.
