Ovarian Cancer Treatment
Ovarian cancer treatment depends on the stage of cancer, patient's overall health, and specific characteristics of the tumor. Primary treatment options include surgery (such as oophorectomy or hysterectomy), chemotherapy, targeted therapy, and, in certain cases, radiation therapy.
Surgery - Removal of the ovaries, fallopian tubes, and affected tissues to eliminate the tumor. There are different types of surgeries, including total hysterectomy, salpingo-oopherectomy, omentectomy, lymphadenectomy, cytoreductive (debulking) surgery, or fertility-sparing surgery.
Chemotherapy - Use of drugs to kill or slow the growth of cancer cells.
Radiation Therapy - High-energy radiation to destroy cancer cells, though less commonly used in ovarian cancer.
Targeted Therapy - Drugs that target specific genes or proteins involved in cancer growth, like PARP inhibitors.
Hormone Therapy - Blocks hormones like estrogen that can promote cancer growth, used in hormone-sensitive tumors.
Immunotherapy - Boosts the immune system to fight cancer, though still under study for ovarian cancer.
Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy - Direct delivery of chemotherapy into the abdominal cavity to target ovarian cancer cells.
Ovarian cancer diagnosis involves a pelvic exam to check for abnormalities, followed by imaging tests like ultrasound, CT, or MRI to detect tumors. Blood tests measure markers like CA-125, often elevated in cancer cases. A biopsy, usually done during surgery, confirms the diagnosis and helps plan treatment.
