Based on report it is ca ovary with deposit in peritoneum and lymph nodes
The next steps would be
1. Metastatic work up -if no distant disease
2. Will see Patient performance status -if good
3. Will see Can we resect disease completely - should be assessed PREOP by cect imaging and intraop by laparoscopy
