The most important factor in the effectiveness of secondary surgery for recurrent ovarian tumors is whether there is no macroscopic residual tumor after surgery, so it is crucial to correctly screen the right patients. When screening patients, the size of the residual cancer at the time of the initial surgery, previous chemotherapy, the time interval from clinical remission to recurrence, the site of tumor recurrence, the histological grade of the tumor, whether there are sensitive chemotherapy drugs for continued chemotherapy after surgery, as well as the general condition of the whole body and the impact of the symptoms caused by the recurrence on the patient should be considered comprehensively.

2. Chemotherapy

For recurrent ovarian tumors, chemotherapy is often the first choice of treatment and plays an important role.

3. Radiotherapy

Radiotherapy is only suitable for the treatment of local lesions, and has disadvantages such as side effects, long duration, increased difficulty and complications of reoperation, etc., so it is rarely used now.
