What are the western medicines for treating ovarian cancer

Ovarian cancer is a malignant tumor with a high mortality rate and is also a major disease that seriously threatens women's life and health. Because ovarian cancer has no obvious symptoms when it is found early, it is often in the late stage when patients find the disease. Therefore, when the body is abnormal, surgical resection of the ovary and postoperative chemotherapy are indispensable in treatment. At the same time, anti-cancer and immunity-enhancing drugs are also needed to treat the ovaries. The following introduces several commonly used Western medicines for the treatment of ovarian cancer and how to take them.

The above are the commonly used western medicines and methods of taking for ovarian cancer. Ovarian cancer is also prone to recurrence and metastasis after surgery, so patients should insist on taking medicines according to the course of treatment after recovery, and have regular follow-up examinations. In the use of drugs, Chinese and Western medicines can also be used in combination. You can take some Chinese medicines that regulate the body to increase immunity and prevent recurrence and metastasis. The effect of preventing recurrence will be better.
