Ovarian cancer in women occurs around menopause

　　Because the ovaries are located deep in the pelvic cavity, in the early stages of cancer, patients may not have any conscious symptoms, so they are not noticed and it is not easy to take the initiative to get checked. Often, when cancer is discovered, it has already reached an advanced stage, making treatment very difficult. so, ovarian cancer The 5-year survival rate of patients is only 30% to 50%. If women over 30 years old, especially menopause Women before and after menstruation can perform regular Gynecology And pelvic B-ultrasound examination can achieve early detection, early diagnosis, and timely and reasonable treatment. Then the 5-year survival rate of ovarian cancer can reach more than 90%.

　　The main method of treating ovarian cancer is surgical resection. Postoperative chemotherapy is also very important. It should also be combined with immunotherapy, radiotherapy, hormone therapy and traditional Chinese medicine treatment. The effectiveness of chemotherapy and the survival time of patients depend on whether the tumor is completely removed. Therefore, surgery should remove as much tumor lesions as possible. Postoperative chemotherapy is necessary for those tiny tumors and residual tumor cells that are invisible to the naked eye.

　　At present, chemotherapy for ovarian cancer mostly adopts early postoperative, sufficient dosage, and multiple courses of treatment, which is the best choice to improve the cure rate and prolong survival time. Since the main way of metastasis and spread of ovarian cancer is widespread implantation in the pelvic cavity, in order to expose the tumor to more drugs, chemotherapy for ovarian cancer often uses intraperitoneal administration. Currently, "Taxol + Platinum" is used as the standard first-line chemotherapy regimen for ovarian cancer. Radiotherapy is an adjuvant therapy for the treatment of ovarian cancer and is mainly used for some patients who fail to respond to chemotherapy. Traditional Chinese medicine has a very good effect on improving the patient's immunity. Although immunotherapy, gene therapy, etc. have certain effects, they have not yet been widely used. clinical。
