Treatment of ovarian cancer

Ovarian cancer brings a lot of harm to our lives. Patients are looking for the best treatment method for ovarian cancer. Experts have made some explanations on the treatment methods of ovarian cancer . I hope that the experts’ explanation of the treatment methods of ovarian cancer will be helpful to you.

A. Surgical treatment: Surgery is the most important method of treating ovarian cancer. Unless it is clinically estimated that the tumor cannot be removed or there are contraindications to surgery, surgery should be performed first.

1. Comprehensive and staged laparotomy: Applicable to patients with ovarian cancer diagnosed as stage I before surgery. It includes total hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, omentectomy, pelvic and para-aortic lymph node dissection, and peritoneal cytology (ascites or pelvic and peritoneal lavage fluid).

2. Tumor cytoreductive surgery: Applicable to cases above stage II.

3. Secondary exploratory surgery: within 1 year after successful tumor cell reduction surgery, at least 6 courses of chemotherapy were implemented, and clinical examinations and auxiliary examinations (including tumor markers such as CA125) were normal, and laparotomy was performed again.

B. Radiotherapy. Most malignant tumors are not well treated by various radiotherapy methods. Therefore, radiotherapy is not considered first in the treatment of malignant ovarian tumors. For patients who have been confirmed to have malignant ovarian tumors that cannot be completely removed by laparotomy, external X-ray irradiation can be performed. However, patients with a large amount of ascites should not undergo radiotherapy.

C. Chemotherapy. Ovarian cancer mostly responds well to chemotherapy. In recent years, the chemical treatment of ovarian cancer has made rapid progress and plays an important role in the treatment of ovarian cancer. It plays a positive role in improving the treatment effect of ovarian malignant tumors. It can be used as an auxiliary treatment for surgery and is often used before, during and after surgery. However, it often requires intermittent medication for a long period of time, and the toxic reaction to the human body is sometimes greater. In most cases, it is difficult to completely remove the primary ovarian cancer lesions and metastatic lesions by surgery, especially the implantation of small granular nodules; some patients are not willing to undergo surgical treatment. At this time, comprehensive treatment with chemotherapy as the main treatment should be considered.
