What should women do if they have ovarian tumors? What are the treatments for ovarian tumors?

I believe that many women have experienced gynecological diseases. The number of patients with gynecological tumors in China has increased sharply. It has attracted enough attention. Ovarian tumors are the most common one. Many people are concerned about what to do if women suffer from ovarian tumors? The editor also helped everyone consult gynecological tumor experts. The following is their detailed explanation of the treatment methods.

Ovarian tumors are treated by:

1. Surgical treatment

The most traditional treatment for ovarian tumors is surgery. During surgery, the doctor first explores the abdominal cavity to determine the extent of the lesion and whether the tumor has lymph node metastasis, etc. During surgery, patients with stage I ovarian tumors should have the fluid in the abdominal cavity sent for cytology examination, and then undergo a total hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, with a follow-up visit required after surgery. The scope of surgery for stage II, III, and IV ovarian tumors is the same as that for stage I, except that the aorta and pelvic lymph nodes need to be cleared. If all of the lesions cannot be cleared, chemotherapy is required after surgery, and surgery is performed again after the tumor becomes smaller.

2. Chemotherapy

Ovarian tumors are very sensitive to chemotherapy. The most commonly used chemotherapy drugs are alkylating agents. This type of chemotherapy drugs can be used alone or in combination. It is administered intraperitoneally and injected through the inferior epigastric artery cannula. The purpose of this is to maximize the local drug concentration and improve the efficacy of the drug.

3. Radiotherapy

The third treatment for ovarian tumors is radiation therapy. This treatment has fewer side effects than chemotherapy and is done by injecting the radioactive isotope 32P into the abdominal cavity.

4. Immunotherapy

This is a new treatment method that has become popular in recent years. Its main purpose is to enhance the patient's immune function and eliminate all tumor cells. It has now entered the clinical use stage.

What should I do if I have an ovarian tumor? I believe that after reading the above, you already know what methods can be used to treat ovarian tumors. It can be seen that the current medical technology is still relatively advanced. As long as everyone can detect and treat early, the hope of survival is still relatively large. I hope that all patients with ovarian tumors will have confidence in themselves and have a good attitude.
