What are the causes of death from advanced ovarian cancer?

Ovarian cancer is a common gynecological malignancy in clinical practice. Because its early symptoms are relatively hidden, when patients are diagnosed, the disease has usually developed to the advanced stage. This is also one of the important reasons why the mortality rate of ovarian cancer ranks first among female malignant tumors. When ovarian cancer develops to the advanced stage, the cancer cells in the patient's body will spread and metastasize, increasing the difficulty of treatment and extremely poor prognosis. What are the causes of death from ovarian cancer in the late stage?

(I) The cause of death of patients with advanced ovarian cancer is related to the symptoms and treatment methods of patients with advanced ovarian cancer;

(II) Symptoms related to distant metastasis of ovarian cancer are also common causes of death in ovarian cancer patients. Ovarian cancer metastasizes extensively throughout the body and causes corresponding symptoms and signs such as jaundice, ascites, abnormal liver function, dyspnea, cough, headache, coma, etc. Controlling the spread and metastasis of ovarian cancer is to treat the common causes of death from ovarian cancer.

(III) The other is the incorrect treatment of ovarian cancer patients. Surgical treatment is generally not suitable for patients with advanced ovarian cancer, because surgical treatment at this stage will further reduce the body's immunity and accelerate metastasis. According to clinical statistics, there are many people who die from ovarian cancer after surgery. If patients undergo radiotherapy and chemotherapy, it is more likely to damage normal tissues and white blood cells, causing varying degrees of damage to bone marrow function, liver and kidney function, and may also cause complications. These problems may become the cause of death of patients with advanced ovarian cancer.

(IV) Regarding the cause of death of patients with advanced ovarian cancer, experts recommend timely cooperation with traditional Chinese medicine treatment, which can effectively repair the damage caused by surgery to the patient's body and prepare for subsequent radiotherapy consolidation, effectively overcome the cause of death of patients with advanced ovarian cancer and prolong the patient's survival period;

(V) Bloody pleural effusion and ascites: Ovarian cancer on the diaphragmatic surface can directly infiltrate or metastasize through the bloodstream or lymph nodes to cause bloody pleural effusion.

(VI) Secondary infection: Due to the long-term consumption of cancer, the body's resistance is weakened, especially after radiation and chemotherapy, the white blood cell count decreases, and the patient is prone to various infections such as pneumonia, intestinal infection, fungal infection, etc.

(VII) Damage caused by tumors to body tissues and organs;

(8) Nutritional depletion leading to multiple organ failure;

(IX) Medically induced death (improper medical treatment such as surgery, excessive radiotherapy, excessive chemotherapy, etc.).
