What are the classifications of ovarian cancer

Ovarian cancer refers to a large class of malignant tumors located in the ovaries. The most common is ovarian epithelial cancer, also known as ovarian cancer. There are also some other ovarian non-epithelial cancers, such as germ cell tumors like teratomas. Of course, there is also a part of teratomas that are benign, which are mature teratomas. Malignant ovarian tumors are immature teratomas, and others include sex cord stromal tumors. In addition, there is secondary ovarian cancer, which refers to metastasis from other parts to the ovaries.

Is stage 3 ovarian cancer serious?

Ovarian cancer is a gynecological malignancy, and epithelial cells are the most common clinical type. Grade 3 ovarian cancer indicates that the tumor has high heterogeneity and high biological activity, and is prone to recurrence and metastasis, which is what we call a high degree of malignancy. Further evaluation of lymph node metastasis and metastasis to distant organs should be conducted to clarify the pathological stage, evaluate the prognosis and the corresponding treatment plan. Early stage cases often have good treatment effects, while mid- to late-stage cases require combined treatment to achieve better clinical results.
