How to treat stage II ovarian cancer

The treatment of ovarian cancer must be timely and thorough, otherwise it is likely to cause serious complications and seriously threaten women's health. The treatment of ovarian cancer can, to a certain extent, preserve the opportunity for women to have children, but severe patients have to choose removal. The following will introduce to you the treatment methods for ovarian cancer.

1. Surgical treatment

Adequate preparation must be made before the operation, including the improvement of the patient's overall condition, the choice of anesthesia, the use of instruments and related medications, and emergency measures. The method, scope, and specific operation of the operation will depend on the patient's age and the nature, size, unilateral or bilateral growth of the tumor, and whether there is adhesion or malignant metastasis. For some cases that cannot be determined, a biopsy of the diseased tissue can be taken before proceeding.

2. Surgical treatment of benign ovarian cysts

① Ovarian cystectomy. Most of these patients have no menstrual disorders and some even have complicated pregnancy. If the tumor on one side is more obvious, salpingo-oophorectomy on the affected side can be performed.

② Salpingo-oophorectomy. For unilateral ovarian cysts occurring in older patients (over 45 years old), unilateral or bilateral ovarian cysts are usually treated with unilateral or bilateral oophorectomy. For patients who are not fit for surgery due to general condition or who have severe inflammation, total hysterectomy is often performed. It is worth noting that for the surgical treatment of larger ovarian cysts, the size of the incision should be disregarded and complete resection is appropriate to avoid rupturing the patient's pulse and allowing the contents to spill into the abdominal cavity or incision. During the operation, attention should be paid to the patient's pulse, breathing, and blood pressure changes. When necessary, infusion or blood transfusion, oxygen infusion should be accelerated. Early detection of acute gastric dilatation, paralytic intestinal obstruction, and the resulting water and electrolyte imbalance and blood chemistry changes should also be prevented.

③ Adnexectomy and total hysterectomy: For unilateral or bilateral ovarian cysts in women who are near menopause or menopause, and the patient's general condition is not suitable for the surgery, bilateral adnexectomy and total hysterectomy are appropriate, but it will seriously affect endocrine disorders.

3. Surgical treatment of malignant ovarian cysts

Because most patients are in the late stage when they seek treatment, we should do everything possible to remove the primary cyst and the visible pelvic and abdominal metastases. Because ovarian malignant cysts are often adhered or infiltrated with the uterus and adnexa, and are closely attached to the pelvic peritoneum, the uterus and tumor are often removed in one piece, such as omentectomy, partial intestinal resection, partial bladder and ureter resection. For ovarian malignant tumors with ascites, whether they are completely removed or not, it is advisable to place a catheter in the abdominal cavity to facilitate the postoperative intraperitoneal injection of anticancer drugs or radioactive colloidal gold or colloidal phosphorus.

The above is an introduction to the treatment methods for ovarian cancer. Doctors in professional hospitals will generally consider the patients to the greatest extent possible. As long as your condition is not serious, you can retain your ovaries. However, severe patients must have their ovaries removed to prevent the spread of cancer cells and increase the burden on the body.
