How long can you live with advanced ovarian cancer

Ovarian cancer is one of the most common tumors of the female reproductive organs, and its incidence rate ranks third after cervical cancer and uterine body cancer. The treatment of ovarian cancer has always received widespread attention. If it can be treated promptly and correctly, it can prolong the patient's life, otherwise it will be life-threatening.

Treatment of ovarian cancer:
1. Surgical treatment: During surgery, detailed exploration including peritoneal lavage, palpation of pelvic and abdominal organs and pelvic retroperitoneal lymph nodes, and multiple biopsies of the diaphragm, peritoneum and greater omentum should be performed first to accurately stage the tumor. This is one of the treatments for ovarian cancer.
2. Chemotherapy: Since ovarian tumors spread very early, surgery cannot remove the lesions in most cases, and the effect and application of radiotherapy are also very limited. Therefore, systemic chemotherapy is an important auxiliary treatment method. After chemotherapy, the tumors of some advanced patients can be reduced to create favorable conditions for reoperation. This is also a treatment method for ovarian cancer.
3. Radioimmunotherapy: The radiosensitivity of ovarian malignant tumors varies greatly. Ovarian endodermal sinus tumor, immature teratoma, embryonal carcinoma are the least sensitive, while ovarian epithelial carcinoma and granulosa cell carcinoma are the least sensitive. Intermediately sensitive dysgerminoma is the most sensitive. Radiotherapy after surgery can usually control the early abdominal metastasis of ovarian cancer.
How long can a woman with advanced ovarian cancer live? There is no accurate answer to this question. It depends on the treatment method and her physical condition. As long as she receives good treatment and is in a good mood, there will be no problem living a few more years.
