How long can you live with an ovarian tumor?

Ovarian tumors are the cause of many female friends' loss of life. The early symptoms of ovarian tumors are not obvious, and usually early detection has a good cure rate. However, because most ovarian tumors have no obvious symptoms in the early stage, most women are usually found to have ovarian tumors when they have already spread and become advanced cancers. Therefore, the mortality rate of ovarian tumors accounts for a relatively high proportion of gynecological cancers.

Industrial pollution and genetics are the main causes of the disease

Most ovarian tumors have no specific cause, but a few medical reports have found that more ovarian tumors occur in industrial countries. Therefore, industrial pollution may be the main factor causing cell carcinogenesis in the body, but most ovarian tumors cannot find a clear cause. In addition, the damage caused by the opening and closing of the ovarian epidermis during ovulation has always been considered one of the main causes of ovarian tumors. In addition, genetic genes that are prone to disease are also one of the factors causing ovarian tumors.

Cancer cells have many pathways to spread

Ovarian tumors usually spread through malignant cells to other organs in the abdominal cavity, such as the peritoneal surface, the surface of the large and small intestines, the surface of the greater omentum, and the surface of the bladder and diaphragm. It is especially common to spread to the lower part of the right diaphragm and the greater omentum. Because the ascites in the abdominal cavity is absorbed from the upper two parts, cancer cells are easy to transfer to the lower part of the diaphragm and the greater omentum. Of course, there are other ways of spread, such as from the blood and lymph nodes.

It could be one month, two months, three years, five years, or even longer for some women. How long a woman with ovarian tumor can live depends mainly on factors such as the patient's treatment plan and the patient's physical function.
