Ovarian cancer can be detected by color Doppler ultrasound

Ovarian cancer does not have obvious symptoms, so it is generally difficult to be discovered. Early treatment is actually very easy, but by the time the disease is discovered, it is already in the middle and late stages, so middle-aged female friends are advised to go to the hospital for regular check-ups. The following is an introduction to the question of whether ovarian cancer can be detected by color Doppler ultrasound:

(1) Ultrasound examination
B-ultrasound imaging can detect the location, size, shape and nature of the tumor.
(2) Radiological diagnosis: Barium meal or barium enema, air contrast radiography can be used to determine whether there is a tumor in the digestive tract. CT examination can locate and characterize pelvic tumors, and can determine whether there is metastasis to the liver, lungs, and retroperitoneal lymph nodes. Pelvic lymph node radiography can determine whether ovarian tumors have lymphatic metastasis. (3) Laparoscopy can directly observe the source and general condition of the tumor, as well as the entire pelvic and abdominal cavity and diaphragm, to determine the extent and stage of the lesion. It can also aspirate ascites for cytological examination, or take suspicious tissue for pathological examination. However, it is contraindicated for huge masses or adhesion masses.
(4) Cytological examination: Cytological examination of ascites obtained by abdominal or posterior fornix puncture is helpful in the diagnosis of ovarian malignant tumors.
(5) Enlarged ovaries are found during laparotomy before puberty, and the ovaries can still be palpated after menopause; women of childbearing age have ovarian cystic tumors with a diameter greater than 6 cm that do not shrink or increase in size after 3 to 6 months of observation; solid tumors.
Although the symptoms of ovarian cancer are not obvious, the accuracy of clinical examination items is very high. The treatment of ovarian cancer is also relatively difficult, which is directly related to the unclear cause of the disease. There are even some patients whose ovarian cancer is caused by genetic factors and are often incurable. It can be said that its harm is very great.
