What medicine can be used for ovarian teratoma

Teratoma is a gynecological tumor disease that is harmful to physical and mental health. It brings many negative effects to the body. According to experts, teratoma is generally treated surgically, and drugs are mainly used for postoperative adjuvant treatment. So, what drugs can be used for ovarian teratoma?

The treatment principle of malignant teratoma is combined adjuvant therapy, with conventional chemotherapy for 1.5 to 2 years after surgical resection, usually cisplatin, vinblastine or vincristine, and bleomycin. In recent years, combined chemotherapy with cisplatin, doxorubicin, ifosfamide and other chemotherapy drugs is recommended.

Treatment and prognosis:

1. Treatment

The best treatment for this disease is surgical resection. During the operation, the contents of the cyst should be removed as much as possible, and the cyst wall should be removed as much as possible. The part of the cyst wall that is tightly adhered to the spinal cord or nerve root should not be removed forcibly. For intraspinal malignant teratomas, the comprehensive treatment plan of surgical resection followed by adjuvant radiotherapy or chemotherapy still needs further study.

(II) Prognosis

The prognosis of benign teratomas after surgical resection is also good. The prognosis of carcinoid tumors produced by mature teratomas in the spinal canal is still unclear. If their biological behavior has malignant characteristics, surgical resection should be followed by adjuvant radiotherapy, which improves the short-term efficacy, but the long-term efficacy is still uncertain.

Experts remind: Women should participate in gynecological examinations regularly. Now some units only organize married women to participate in gynecological examinations, but in fact all women of childbearing age should participate in gynecological examinations, especially B-ultrasound examinations, to nip the tumor in the bud or early stage. Mothers should often touch their children's stomachs, and teenagers, women and middle-aged and elderly women should also often touch their abdomens to see if there are lumps. After finding a lump, no matter how big or small it is, whether it hurts or not, you should seek medical attention in time. The best way to touch is: get up in the morning, empty your bladder, lie flat, bend your legs slightly, and touch from one side of the lower abdomen to the other side. If the lump is found to be a hard foreign body, it is suspected to be a tumor. Once a teratoma is found, doctors recommend removal.
