Treatment Methods for Ovarian Cancer

Issac Sebastian

The ovaries are a pair of organs in the female reproductive system. They are in the pelvis, one on each side of the uterus. Each ovary is about the size and shape of an almond. The ovaries make eggs and female hormones. The organs in the female reproductive system include the uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes, cervix, and vagina. The uterus has a muscular outer layer called the myometrium and an inner lining called the endometrium. Ovarian cancer occurs when cells in one or both ovaries become abnormal, grow out of control and form a lump called a tumor. Ovarian cancer treatment options include surgery, chemotherapy or targeted therapy. Surgery involves removing the affected ovary or the ovaries, fallopian tubes and uterus and performing a biopsy to evaluate cancer cells. There are different treatment methods for ovarian cancer as mentioned below.

Stromal tumors of the ovary include germ cell tumors, sex cord stromal tumors, and other more rare types. Metastases to the ovaries are relatively frequent common sources are tumors in the endometrium, breast, colon, stomach, and cervix. For some, the risk of being diag
