Treatment of ovarian cancer is determined by the type, stage and general health of the disease. Treatment options may include:
- Surgery: Removal of the cancerous ovary or ovaries.
- Chemotherapy: Drugs that slow down or destroy the growth of cancer cells.
- Radiotherapy: The destruction of cancer cells by radiation.
- Targeted therapy: Treatment that can be applied to specific parts of cancer cells.
- Stem cell transplantation: A treatment method used in case of damage to the bone marrow after chemotherapy and radiotherapy.
Ovarian cancer treatment is usually administered as a combination of these treatments. The treatment plan is determined by the type, stage and general health of the patient. In addition, pain relievers, antiemetics (anti-vomiting drugs) and other supportive treatments can be used to control symptoms during treatment.
Ovarian cancer treatment is performed by a physician and is managed by a gynecology/oncology specialist according to the type and stage of the disease. You can contact us for more information about all relevant treatment options and outcomes.
