How long can advanced ovarian cancer last? Four treatments and four cooking sessions are necessary
Ovarian cancer is a serious gynecological disease with a high incidence rate. This disease mainly involves early detection, examination, and treatment, especially on the basis of treatment and care.
How long can advanced ovarian cancer last
The late spread of ovarian cancer to organs such as the uterus, adnexa, and pelvis is a major issue in diagnosis and treatment. Developing a scientific and reasonable treatment plan is an important prerequisite for the long-term survival of patients and improving their quality of life. Surgical resection is currently one of the most effective methods for treating in situ cancer, but it is difficult to achieve ideal results in invasive ovarian cancer, especially in the late stage of ovarian cancer, where cancer cells spread and surgical treatment is ineffective. Local therapies such as radiotherapy and chemotherapy are difficult to remove cancer cells, and patients are prone to recurrence after radiotherapy and chemotherapy, with significant toxic side effects, which can damage various functional instruments of the patient and hinder the planned chemotherapy. Ovarian cancer is a common malignant tumor in the female reproductive tract, and many patients and their families are concerned about how long they can survive in the late stage of ovarian cancer. In fact, the expert's answer to this question is that as long as you actively treat according to the plan formulated by the doctor, you can extend your life.
Routine treatment of ovarian cancer
1. Surgical treatment: Surgery is the most important method for treating ovarian malignant tumors. Unless clinically estimated that the tumor cannot be removed and there are surgical contraindications, surgery should be performed first.
(1) Comprehensive staging of cesarean section surgery: suitable for ovarian cancer patients diagnosed as stage I before surgery. Including total hysterectomy and double appendectomy, greater omentum resection, pelvic and paraaortic lymph node resection, and abdominal cytology examination.
(2) Tumor cell eradication surgery: suitable for patients with stage II or above.
(3) Secondary detection surgery: Within 1 year after successful tumor cell eradication surgery, at least 6 courses of chemotherapy should be implemented, with no abnormalities in clinical and auxiliary tests, and laparotomy detection surgery should be performed.
2. Radiation therapy: Ovarian cancer treatment does not first consider radiation therapy. Laparotomy detection proves that malignant ovarian tumors have not been completely removed, and external X-ray irradiation is necessary. However, people with a large amount of ascites should not receive radiation therapy.
3. Chemotherapy: Most ovarian cancers respond well to chemotherapy. As an auxiliary surgical treatment, it is commonly used before, during, and after surgery, but requires long-term intermittent medication and has significant toxic effects on the human body. In many cases, it is difficult for surgery to remove the primary and metastatic furnaces of ovarian cancer, especially for some patients with small particle nodules who do not want to receive surgical treatment, and comprehensive treatment centered on chemotherapy must be considered.
