What are the treatments for ovarian cancer?

Some women in society lose confidence in life and start to give up on themselves after they find out that they have ovarian cancer, which causes them great pain. Ovarian cancer is a very scary disease. So what are the current medical methods for treating ovarian cancer?

1. Surgical treatment: Surgical treatment is the preferred treatment method after diagnosis. Surgical methods mainly include radical surgery and conservative surgery that preserves fertility. Before surgery, the patient should be fully examined for accurate tumor staging. In addition, postoperative care is very important. Because recurrence and metastasis occur after surgery, consolidation should be strengthened after surgery to prevent recurrence and metastasis of ovarian cancer.

2. Chemotherapy: Chemotherapy plays an important role in the treatment of ovarian cancer. It can be used as an auxiliary treatment for surgery and is often used before, during and after surgery. In most cases, it is difficult to completely remove the primary foci and metastatic foci of ovarian cancer by surgery, especially the implantation of small granular nodules. Therefore, it takes a long time to discontinue medication, which has greater side effects on the human body. In addition, chemotherapy can also be used for patients who do not want to take surgical treatment.

3. Radiotherapy: Radiotherapy has no obvious effect on the treatment of ovarian cancer and is generally not used as the first choice. It can be used for patients whose lesions cannot be completely removed after surgery.

4. Traditional Chinese medicine treatment: Usually, it is suitable for patients with ovarian cancer in the middle and late stages, or after surgery or other treatments, because patients in this period are weaker and may even have symptoms of malnutrition. Traditional Chinese medicine treatment can effectively improve the patient's quality of life, improve cachexia, eliminate ascites, strengthen the body, and maximize the patient's survival time.

Every ovarian cancer patient needs to stay in the hospital for treatment and face life optimistically and positively. At the same time, everyone needs to take good care of the ovarian cancer patients around them, and every ovarian cancer patient also needs to try their best to fight the disease so that they can live a happy life.
