Ovarian cancer?


what is ovarian cancer, and what are the treatments

Cancer of the ovaries. Typical treatment is surgical removal of the ovary (or both if they both are afflicted), and possibly surrounding organs, if they are also affected by the cancer (if it has spread/metastasized). Then there will be either chemotherapy or radiation therapy, and often both types of therapy, followed, by aggressive follow-up investigations to make sure that the cancer has not returned.

Sadly, because ovarian cancer is often overlooked, ignored, or misdiagnosed, it is a harder cancer to treat because it has more time to spread, thereby making for a higher rate of mortality than other types of reproductive cancers.

A cancer that occurs in ovaries. Chemo is the treatment that I know of. and Caner is not nice. From what i heard.

if the cancer can't be removed from radiation then they have to remove the ovary's
