What indicators does the ovarian cancer hospital check

The appearance of ovarian cancer makes patients very worried, because this disease will affect the patient's life when it occurs. The appearance of this disease is related to many factors, such as genetic factors and endocrine factors. Everyone should understand the root cause of this disease as soon as possible and conduct timely examinations so that the disease can be discovered in time.

What are the common tests for ovarian cancer patients?

Ultrasound examination: B-ultrasound can understand the size, shape, cysticity, benign or malignant nature of pelvic masses, and the presence or absence of ascites, and can clearly distinguish the differences between healthy tissue, fluid-filled cysts and tumor tissue.

Pelvic examination: This includes checking the uterus, vagina, ovaries, fallopian tubes, bladder and rectum to see if there are any abnormalities such as shape, size, whether there are lumps, benign or malignant. During the pelvic examination, the doctor usually does a cervical smear, which can diagnose cervical cancer at an early stage, but it is not a reliable method for early diagnosis of ovarian cancer.

Laparoscopy or laparotomy: It can directly observe the pathological changes and scope of the pelvic cavity and perform biopsies. Pathological biopsy is performed by laparotomy to obtain pathological tissue and observe and analyze it under a microscope. If cancer is suspected, the surgeon will remove the entire ovary during oophorectomy. This is very important because if it is cancer, cutting the outer membrane of the ovary when taking tissue samples can easily cause cancer cells to spread into the abdominal cavity, so it is necessary to remove the entire ovary after cancer is detected.
