A year ago in the hospital to do B ultrasound found ovarian cancer, because it is not very big, there is a benign, the doctor prescribed some medicine, to do regular examination, so has been very attention. Now, let me talk about how to diagnose and treat ovarian cancer.

How to diagnose and treat ovarian cancer

First, the 5-year survival rate of advanced ovarian cancer is only 25%, while that of early ovarian cancer is more than 85%. Therefore, it can be said that early diagnosis is the most important link in the diagnosis and treatment strategy of ovarian cancer. Only by early diagnosis can we fundamentally change the situation of high mortality of ovarian cancer. However, early diagnosis has always been the most challenging topic in ovarian cancer research. There is no mature method for early diagnosis.

Second: the most commonly used basic diagnostic methods of ovarian cancer include: gynecological triple diagnosis, transvaginal color B ultrasound and serum CA125 detection. The combination of these three methods is also the current ovarian cancer screening method recommended by experts. Because the incidence rate of ovarian cancer in the population is low, even if the high specificity test method is used, the positive predictive value is still very low, so it is difficult to carry out screening in the general population.

Third: the target population of ovarian cancer screening is mainly high-risk group of hereditary ovarian cancer family and menopausal women over 50 years old. Studies have confirmed that screening in high-risk groups is an effective method for early diagnosis of ovarian cancer, and the survival time of screening group is significantly longer. In the process of screening, dynamic monitoring of serum CA125 level is of great significance, which can significantly improve the effect of screening.
