At present, the main treatment for ovarian cancer is surgery, which can remove the tumor to the maximum extent, including the part of the tumor that invades other tissues.

At the same time, ovarian cancer patients also need to undergo chemotherapy, endocrine therapy, radiotherapy, and targeted therapy under the guidance of doctors. During the treatment process, family members need to establish the determination to defeat the disease with the patient, and at the same time, with the help of diet, the body can get better quickly.

Ovarian cancer is a disease that women are very likely to suffer from. If they get the disease, it will cause great harm to women's bodies. However, although ovarian cancer is very scary, there are many treatments available at present. Women must face it positively in order to get better quickly. However, most patients do not have enough understanding of the treatment methods of the disease, which does not play a good role in the treatment of the disease. So let's learn about the treatment methods of ovarian cancer.
1. Treatment of ovarian cancer
1. Surgery <br/>Surgery can remove the tumor to the maximum extent possible in ovarian cancer, and at the same time remove the peritoneum or abdominal lymph nodes that the tumor may have invaded. Radical oophorectomy is performed for early ovarian cancer, and cytoreductive surgery can be used in late stages. If the tumor cannot be completely removed, it is called palliative cytoreductive surgery.
2. Endocrine therapy <br/>Using endocrine treatment methods, the hormone level of ovarian cancer can be reduced to the maximum extent and ovarian cancer can be effectively controlled.
3. Targeted therapy <br/>Including anti-angiogenic drugs.
4. Chemotherapy <br/>There is neoadjuvant chemotherapy before surgery, adjuvant chemotherapy after surgery, and long-term maintenance treatment.
5. Radiotherapy <br/>Used for localized pelvic tumors. If chemotherapy is not effective, it can be combined with radiotherapy.
2. Postoperative care methods
1. Patients need to maintain vigorous energy and a cheerful and optimistic mood, which is conducive to the normal regulation of endocrine activity and helps to improve the effect of ovarian cancer.
2. Correct psychological states such as pessimism, depression, etc. And patients need to establish the determination to defeat the disease, which will achieve better results.
3. Diet adjustment: Diet care for ovarian cancer patients is very important. In terms of diet adjustment, we should pay attention to properly supplementing nutrients and calories, giving high-protein and high-vitamin foods, and also adjust the spleen and stomach functions, invigorate the stomach qi, restore the chemical qi source, and strengthen the acquired foundation.
In terms of food selection, in addition to milk and eggs, patients should usually eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, supplement protein and multiple vitamins, and avoid eating sow meat.
4. Maintain a regular life and proper exercise, and avoid overwork. Especially during long-term treatment, you should pay attention to rest, maintain physical strength, and pay attention to adding or removing clothes according to weather changes to prevent infection by bacteria, viruses, etc.
5. Appropriate sex life is beneficial to physical recovery, but excessive sex life is harmful to patients. But remember, you cannot have sex during chemotherapy and after surgery. You can only have sex after your physical condition has basically recovered.
