What to do if ovarian cancer metastasizes to the lymph nodes

What should I do if ovarian cancer metastasizes to the lymph nodes?

The treatment method for ovarian cancer metastasis to the lymph nodes needs to be selected according to the condition. If the patient is in good physical condition, surgical treatment can be selected, such as hysterectomy, lymph node dissection, and tumor cell reduction surgery. If the patient cannot undergo surgery, conservative treatment is recommended, such as chemotherapy, targeted therapy, and traditional Chinese medicine treatment.

First, hysterectomy. If a woman is in good physical condition after developing ovarian cancer, she can choose hysterectomy, which is mainly to completely remove all uterine tissue.

Second, lymph node dissection. When ovarian cancer has lymph node metastasis, lymph node dissection can be performed, which mainly involves the complete removal of the lymph nodes in the drainage area related to the lesion.

Third, cytoreductive surgery. For advanced ovarian cancer, cytoreductive surgery can be performed to remove metastatic lesions and shrink the tumor lesions.

Third, chemotherapy. If women cannot bear the damage caused by surgery, they can choose conservative treatment, such as chemotherapy. Common chemotherapy drugs include cyclophosphamide and methotrexate. In addition, women should pay attention to chemotherapy. If nausea, vomiting, hair loss, etc. occur, the chemotherapy drugs and dosage can be adjusted.

Fourth, treatment with traditional Chinese medicine. The effect of traditional Chinese medicine in treating ovarian cancer is good. The Chinese medicines needed are Ganoderma lucidum, Astragalus, Ligustrum lucidum, Rehmannia root and Pinellia ternata. This prescription can disperse nodules and reduce swelling, soothe the stomach and calm the mind, strengthen the body and eliminate evil, improve immunity and improve physical weakness.

Fifth, targeted therapy. The preferred targeted drugs are Olaparib, Rucaparib, and Bevacizumab. These three drugs are effective in treating ovarian cancer. You need to follow the doctor's advice on which one to take.
