What is the treatment for ovarian cancer

Since ovarian cancer has no obvious symptoms in the early stage, it is difficult for patients to detect it. Many patients do not start treatment until the late stage of ovarian cancer. Since the patients with late stage ovarian cancer are in very poor condition, the choice of treatment method is very important. What is the better treatment for ovarian cancer?

Ovarian cancer treatments include surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy and immunotherapy. The combination of traditional therapy and immunotherapy can fully make up for the shortcomings of single therapy and achieve better treatment results. If patients with early ovarian cancer choose surgical treatment, it will cause tissue damage, physical weakness, and recurrence and metastasis of ovarian cancer.

Most of the patients with advanced ovarian cancer have already metastasized, and the chances of surgical cure are slim. Even if surgical treatment is possible, it is only a local resection, and the chance of recurrence after tumor resection is very high. The combined radiotherapy and chemotherapy is not effective either, because the side effects of radiotherapy and chemotherapy are relatively large, and elderly and frail patients cannot bear the great pain of radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Therefore, the task of treating ovarian cancer falls on immunotherapy. Immunotherapy is the only new technology that has the hope of completely killing tumors. It can effectively remove some cancer cells and their tiny lesions remaining after surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy, and prevent tumor recurrence and metastasis.

Through the above content, I believe that many people have some understanding of the treatment of ovarian cancer, but many times even if people know it, they will not take it to heart. So what the editor wants to remind you is that many diseases are not contracted in a short time, so you should pay more attention to it in your daily life.
