What are the sequelae of chemotherapy for ovarian cancer

Ovarian cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors of the female reproductive organs, and its incidence rate ranks third after thymic cancer and uterine body cancer. However, the mortality rate of ovarian cancer ranks first among all gynecological tumors, posing a serious threat to women's lives. Since ovarian cancer spreads and metastasizes quickly, the lesions cannot be removed during surgery in most cases, and the effect and application of radiotherapy are also very limited. Therefore, systemic chemotherapy is an important auxiliary treatment method.

The serious damage to normal tissue cells in the human body caused by chemotherapy drugs in the treatment of ovarian cancer is called toxic side effects. The most serious side effect of chemotherapy for ovarian cancer is neutropenia. Clinically, more than half of the ovarian cancer patients receiving chemotherapy develop neutropenia.

The side effects of chemotherapy for ovarian cancer include bone marrow suppression, hair loss, loss of appetite and various gastrointestinal adverse reactions, which often make patients unbearable and terminate treatment, seriously affecting the smooth progress of chemotherapy.
