How to treat advanced ovarian cancer

First, the treatment of ovarian malignant tumor is different due to different pathological types, and surgery combined with chemotherapy is often used.

Second, detailed exploration should be carried out during the operation, including cytological examination of peritoneal lavage fluid or ascites, palpation of diaphragms, pelvic and abdominal organs, pelvic lymph nodes and retroperitoneal lymph nodes, so as to make accurate tumor staging. The operation methods of early patients are divided into comprehensive staging operation and fertility preserving staging operation. The scope of comprehensive staging surgery includes bilateral adnexectomy, hysterectomy, omental resection and pelvic and retroperitoneal lymph node dissection. It is suggested that cytoreductive surgery should be performed as far as possible for advanced patients with extensive pelvic metastasis.

Third, the radiosensitivity of ovarian malignant tumors varies greatly. Ovarian Endodermal sinus tumor, immature teratoma and embryonic carcinoma are the least sensitive, ovarian epithelial carcinoma and granulosa cell carcinoma are moderately sensitive, and asexual cell tumor is the most sensitive. However, as most of the malignant germ cell tumors such as dysgerminoma are teenagers, and the effect of chemotherapy is good, the side effects of abdominal and pelvic radiotherapy are greater, and radiotherapy has rarely been used for ovarian malignant tumors.
