Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Sensitivity when performing photodynamic diagnosis on biopsy tissue specimens

Among specimens diagnosed as malignant, the percentage of specimens collected with a positive blue or white test after the start of cytoreductive surgery or exploratory laparotomy.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Other diagnostic accuracy (specificity, negative predictive value, positive predictive value when observed under blue light source and white light source)

Specificity: Among specimens diagnosed as non-malignant, the percentage of specimens collected with a negative blue test or negative white test after the start of cytoreductive surgery or exploratory laparotomy.

Negative predictive value: the percentage of specimens collected with a negative blue test or negative white test after starting cytoreductive surgery or exploratory laparotomy that are diagnosed as non-malignant among those.

Positive predictive value: the percentage of specimens collected that are positive blue or white test after the start of cytoreductive surgery or exploratory laparotomy that are diagnosed as pathologically malignant among the those.

*When calculating diagnostic accuracy under a blue light source, the result of the blue test positive is used, and when calculating the diagnostic accuracy under a white light source, the result of a positive white test is used.
