Treatment methods for ovarian cancer

Treatment of ovarian cancer, ovarian cancer threatens every woman. Because its early symptoms are difficult to detect, many patients are already in the middle and late stages of ovarian cancer after being discovered, thus missing the best time. In any case, many patients still hope to learn more about the treatment of ovarian cancer.

Ovarian malignant tumors can be treated with surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy. However, due to the complexity of its pathological types, qualitative, localized diagnosis and staging are difficult to determine without laparoscopy or laparotomy. Therefore, except for cases where surgery is not possible or the type of tumor is roughly understood but the patient's general condition is not suitable for surgery, surgery can be considered after trying chemotherapy or radiotherapy with Chinese medicine. Surgical exploration can further clarify the type of tumor and its range of involvement, and clarify the staging, which can only provide a basis for postoperative, chemotherapy and radiotherapy. In addition, removing the tumor as much as possible during the operation can also create conditions for postoperative chemotherapy or radiotherapy and improve the efficacy. Below we will introduce each treatment method in detail:

Introducing the treatment of ovarian cancer:

1. Surgical treatment

Surgery is the most important means of treating ovarian malignant tumors. Unless it is clinically estimated that the tumor cannot be removed or there are contraindications to surgery, surgery should be performed first.

2. Chemotherapy

Most ovarian cancers respond well to chemotherapy. In recent years, chemotherapy for tumors has made rapid progress and plays an important role in the treatment of ovarian cancer. It plays a positive role in improving the treatment effect of ovarian malignant tumors. It can be used as an adjuvant therapy for surgery and is often used before, during and after surgery. However, it often requires intermittent medication for a long period of time, and the toxic reaction to the human body is sometimes greater. In most cases, it is difficult to completely remove the primary ovarian cancer lesions and metastatic lesions by surgery, especially the implantation of small granular nodules; some patients are not willing to undergo surgical treatment. At this time, comprehensive treatment with chemotherapy as the main treatment should be considered.

3. Radiation therapy

Most malignant tumors are not well-responsive to various radiotherapy. Therefore, radiotherapy is not considered first in the treatment of malignant ovarian tumors. For patients who have been confirmed to have malignant ovarian tumors that cannot be completely removed by laparotomy, external X-ray irradiation can be performed. However, patients with a large amount of ascites should not undergo radiotherapy.
