Ovarian cancer treatment involves a combination of therapies, depending on the stage and type of cancer, aimed at eliminating cancer cells and preventing recurrence.
Surgery is the primary treatment, where the ovaries, fallopian tubes, and sometimes the uterus are removed to prevent the spread of cancer.
Chemotherapy uses drugs to kill cancer cells or slow their growth. It’s often given after surgery to eliminate any remaining cancerous cells.
Targeted therapy drugs block specific molecules involved in cancer growth. This treatment helps in attacking cancer cells without harming healthy cells.
Immunotherapy boosts the body's immune system to fight ovarian cancer. It helps recognize and destroy cancer cells by enhancing immune responses.
Hormone therapy can be used if ovarian cancer is hormone-sensitive, blocking the hormones that help cancer cells grow and spread.
Radiation uses high-energy rays to target and destroy cancer cells. It's less common for ovarian cancer but may be used in some cases.
Participating in clinical trials offers access to new treatments and therapies that may provide more effective options for treating ovarian cancer.
Palliative care focuses on improving quality of life by managing symptoms like pain, nausea, and fatigue, ensuring comfort during treatment and recovery.
Ovarian cancer treatment combines surgery, medication, and supportive care, tailored to each individual’s condition, to improve outcomes and enhance quality of life.
