Can women with ovarian tumors be cured?

1. Lesions confined to the ovaries Lesions confined to the ovaries are the first stage of ovarian tumors. Clinical experience shows that for patients with advanced ovarian tumors that have extensive metastasis, ideal results can still be achieved by performing tumor cell reduction surgery or massive resection combined with chemotherapy on the basis of accurate ovarian tumor staging, and the patient can be cured.

2. Lesions involving the ovaries with pelvic metastasis are the second stage of ovarian tumors. The accuracy of clinical surgical staging of ovarian tumors is easily affected by subjective factors, while abdominal and pelvic CT scans can make up for the shortcomings of surgical staging. The accuracy of preoperative staging can reach 70-90%.

3. The lesion involves one or both ovaries, accompanied by implantation outside the pelvic cavity or retroperitoneal lymph node metastasis. This is the third stage of ovarian tumors.

The treatment methods for different stages of ovarian tumors are different. The comprehensive treatment plan for ovarian tumors is mainly based on surgery, and multi-channel combined chemotherapy and selective radiotherapy are auxiliary treatment methods. The specific treatment methods are:

Patients with stage I ovarian tumors are usually treated with total hysterectomy, bilateral adnexal/unilateral adnexal resection, omentectomy, and 4 to 5 courses of chemotherapy to achieve clinical cure.

Patients with ovarian tumors in stages II to IV are treated with cytoreductive surgery (or retroperitoneal lymphadenectomy) and chemotherapy for 6 to 8 courses. If there is residual tumor, secondary cytoreductive surgery is performed, followed by 8 to 10 courses of chemotherapy after surgery, or radiotherapy, tumor biological therapy, etc.

It should be noted that for patients with stage II to IV ovarian tumors who cannot undergo surgery, neoadjuvant chemotherapy can be performed first; then surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, tumor biological therapy, etc. can be considered.

Can women with ovarian tumors be cured? After reading the above text, everyone will understand this question. I hope that patients with ovarian tumors will actively seek treatment and not delay the disease, so as to avoid difficult and painful treatment in the late stage.
