Is ovarian tumor serious?

Are ovarian tumors serious?

Benign tumors are relatively small, without infection and pedicle torsion, and are very mild. Once discovered, they can be observed or surgically removed and cured. If they are complicated by infection, pedicle torsion, or even tumor rupture, they are more serious and should be treated surgically. The appearance of ovarian malignant tumors is relatively secretive, and malignant tumors are often discovered late, such as extensive abdominal metastasis, tumor rupture and implantation. Early detection can be cured, and the overall prognosis of advanced ovarian cancer is relatively poor, which is the worst prognosis among gynecological malignancies.

Treatments for ovarian tumors

Whether it is a benign or malignant ovarian tumor, frozen section histology is recommended during surgery to confirm the diagnosis. Surgical treatment is mainly recommended for benign ovarian tumors. Surgical treatment is also recommended for malignant ovarian tumors. Ovarian tumor resection or ovarian tumor resection can be performed by laparotomy or laparoscopy.

Can ovarian tumors be cured?

The so-called mid-stage ovarian cancer usually refers to the cancer cells in the female pelvis that have metastasized. At this time, not only do cancer cells grow on the ovaries, but also on other organs in the pelvis. The probability of recovery for women with mid-stage ovarian cancer is relatively low, and it is generally incurable.

Even if ovarian cancer is removed surgically, it may recur after removal, but not all mid-stage ovarian cancers are incurable. A small number of women with mid-stage ovarian cancer can be treated with surgery followed by aggressive systemic chemotherapy, which may eliminate all cancer cells.
