Hi,
its really not got much to do with the cancer. The ideal thing would be to redo another CT scan, to better evaluate the integrity of the stomach. the stomach is however not one of the usual destinations of spread of ovarian cancer. It shall be very unlikely that the thickening should attack the stomach first with other structures in tact. Another CT scan can help clear the doubt.
Thanks
