Differential diagnosis method of ovarian cancer

Ovarian cancer and breast cancer are both killers of women. In fact, certain treatment measures can be taken for early ovarian cancer, but due to untimely diagnosis, the best treatment time is delayed. The early symptoms of ovarian cancer are not obvious and difficult to detect, so it is described as one of the most deadly cancers. The early symptoms are just abdominal pain or distension, gastrointestinal indigestion, and poor appetite. Patients can easily mistakenly think that there is something wrong with the stomach and intestines and ignore it.

How is ovarian cancer diagnosed clinically?

1. Ultrasound examination: B-ultrasound scan can show the location, size and texture of pelvic masses.

2. Laparoscopic examination: Through laparoscope, the abdominal organs can be directly observed to determine the location and nature of the lesions. Ascites can also be aspirated for microscopic examination to evaluate whether the ovarian tumor has spread.

3.B-ultrasound: can determine the size, shape, cystic and solid location of the tumor and its relationship with surrounding organs, and identify giant ovarian cysts and ascites

4. X-ray examination: Abdominal plain film of mature ovarian teratoma can show images of teeth or bones, and intestinal angiography can understand the location and size of the tumor and its relationship with the intestines.

5. Cytological examination: In a small number of patients with ovarian tumors, psammoma bodies and adenocarcinoma cells may be seen in vaginal smears.

The above is the process of clinical diagnosis of ovarian cancer. Experts recommend that female friends should go to the hospital for regular check-ups to avoid missing the early symptoms of ovarian cancer and delaying the best treatment time.
