What are the drug treatments for ovarian cancer

Ovarian cancer is a type of tumor in the female reproductive organs, which has different degrees of impact on women's physical and mental health. It is not uncommon for people to die from ovarian cancer, so it should be taken seriously. Below, we will introduce what medicine is good for ovarian cancer.

Western medicine treatment of ovarian cancer:

Because ovarian cancer is difficult to detect in its early stages, it has already spread and metastasized by the time it is diagnosed, so it is impossible to eradicate the cancer cells through surgery. Today, chemotherapy has become the most effective method. Chemotherapy is a method of using highly toxic drugs throughout the body to kill cancer cells. Its limitations and side effects cannot be avoided.

Chemotherapy kills both cancer cells and normal cells in the body. This method of treating the symptoms but not the root cause cannot change the body's carcinogenic internal environment, so it cannot cure ovarian cancer. Chemotherapy drugs can reduce the patient's immunity and resistance, and the patient's condition will worsen.

TCM treatment of ovarian cancer:

Due to the rapid growth of tumors, patients in the late stage will suffer from malnutrition and physical weight loss. Treatment methods that are too traumatic or have too many side effects are no longer suitable for the treatment of advanced ovarian cancer. Experts mainly use conservative treatment with traditional Chinese medicine for patients with mid- and late-stage ovarian cancer, which can improve the patient's quality of life and maximize the patient's survival time.
