What is the treatment for epithelial ovarian cancer

Epithelial ovarian cancer is a type of ovarian cancer. Ovarian cancer causes serious harm to women's health. So what is the treatment for epithelial ovarian cancer? Let the experts introduce you to the treatment of epithelial ovarian cancer .

1. Surgical treatment

The principle of early epithelial ovarian cancer is to remove the tumor as much as possible, and perform cytoreductive surgery or tumor reduction surgery. That is, regardless of the size of the tumor and whether there is intra-abdominal metastasis, the tumor should be removed as much as possible as long as the patient can tolerate the surgery to reduce the residual tumor after surgery. In addition, for most patients with advanced ovarian cancer, it is difficult to achieve satisfactory cytoreductive surgery standards in the first surgery. For these patients, cytoreductive surgery can be considered after 2-3 courses of induction chemotherapy or neoadjuvant chemotherapy.

2. Biological immunotherapy

For patients with advanced ovarian cancer and recurrent epithelial ovarian cancer, it is relatively difficult to treat chemotherapy-resistant patients clinically. Although chemotherapy drugs are more sensitive to ovarian cancer patients, their strong toxic and side effects make patients miserable. Therefore, it is necessary to develop new therapeutic drugs and approaches, and biological immunotherapy has become a goal that everyone is looking forward to.

3. Chemotherapy

Earlier, some scholars believed that patients with early epithelial ovarian cancer or patients with good or moderate differentiation do not need adjuvant chemotherapy, while patients with poor prognosis in stages Ia and Ib, stage Ic tumors with ascites or positive peritoneal cytology, and stage II patients must receive timely adjuvant chemotherapy. Combination chemotherapy, intraperitoneal chemotherapy, and combined biological immunotherapy for advanced epithelial ovarian cancer can effectively improve the patient's tumor response rate and survival time. The results of the experiment showed that epithelial ovarian cancer is more sensitive to platinum chemotherapy and is widely used in clinical practice.
