How much does an ovarian cancer test cost

Ovarian cancer is a very dangerous disease with a very high morbidity and mortality rate. There are many ways to treat ovarian cancer, including surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy and minimally invasive interventional therapy. Patients need to develop a special treatment plan based on their individual circumstances. For patients with early and mid-stage ovarian cancer, surgery is the preferred treatment option.

How much does ovarian cancer surgery cost?

Surgery is the main method for treating ovarian cancer. As for the cost, experts point out that there is generally no clear answer, because the cost of surgery varies depending on the region, hospital, and surgical method of the patient. The cost of ovarian cancer surgery is also related to the difficulty of the surgery. The purpose and scope of the surgery should be determined according to the histological type of the tumor, the clinical stage, and the detailed conditions of the patient.

At present, generally speaking, the surgical methods for ovarian cancer mainly include radical surgery and conservative surgery to preserve fertility. While radical surgery removes the tumor, the ovaries can be completely removed to prevent recurrence and metastasis. The scope of the operation includes bilateral adnexa, uterus, omentum, appendectomy and pelvic and retroperitoneal lymph node dissection. This surgical method is basically suitable for all types of ovarian cancer, but if infertile patients want to preserve their fertility, this operation is not suitable; conservative surgery can preserve the patient's reproductive function, mainly by removing the diseased side adnexa, retaining the uterus and the contralateral adnexa, so that the reproductive function can be preserved.

Although surgery is the preferred treatment for ovarian cancer, it cannot completely cure the patient in many cases. It needs to be combined with auxiliary treatments such as radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and minimally invasive interventional therapy for comprehensive treatment to make the patient recover. If the cost of ovarian cancer surgery is combined with the cost of radiotherapy, chemotherapy, etc., it may cost tens of thousands of yuan. The specific medical expenses should be inquired from the specific hospital based on the condition. The key is to choose the treatment method that best suits you.
