How to prevent the second recurrence of ovarian cancer

The recurrence mechanism of malignant ovarian cancer is still unclear, but the recurrence rate is extremely high. It is one of the most difficult problems faced by many gynecological oncology specialists and a severe challenge. The cause of recurrence of recurrent ovarian malignant tumors is related to genetics, internal and external environment, treatment methods, etc. So how to prevent the second recurrence of ovarian cancer?

1) Completely remove the lesion

During ovarian cancer surgery, the primary tumor and visible pelvic and abdominal metastases should be removed as much as possible, or the diameter of the residual cancer should be reduced to less than 2.0 to 1.5.

2) Adhere to long-term chemotherapy

Chemotherapy for ovarian cancer should be long-term and continuous, especially for those in the advanced stage and those who cannot be removed surgically.

3) Traditional Chinese medicine adjuvant treatment

Modern research shows that Chinese medicine has two effects on patients with ovarian malignant tumors. One is to inhibit and kill cancer cells, and the other is to enhance the host's immunity. These effects are beneficial to patients' preoperative control of the disease and postoperative prevention of recurrence. It is recommended that cancer patients take ginsenoside Rh2 after surgery to regulate the body comprehensively, inhibit the formation of tumor angiogenesis and lymphatic vessels, and prevent the recurrence of cancer cells.
