Ovarian Cancer Treatment & Surgery

At Millennium Physicians, we offer a range of advanced treatment options for Ovarian cancer, tailored to meet the specific needs of each patient. Here are some of the most common and effective ovarian cancer treatment options:

Surgery

• Debulking Surgery:
  • Removes as much of the tumor as possible, often including the ovaries, fallopian tubes, uterus, and surrounding affected tissues.
  • Typically recommended for advanced-stage ovarian cancer.
• Bilateral Salpingo-Oophorectomy:
  • Removes both ovaries and fallopian tubes.
  • Often part of a broader surgical plan to address cancer spread.
• Hysterectomy:
  • Removes the uterus to prevent further spread of cancer.

Chemotherapy

• Uses powerful drugs to kill cancer cells or inhibit their growth.
• Often administered after surgery to target any remaining cancer cells.
• Can be delivered intravenously or directly into the abdominal cavity (intraperitoneal chemotherapy).

Targeted Therapy

• Focuses on specific molecules involved in cancer growth and spread.
• Common drugs include PARP inhibitors, particularly effective in cases with BRCA mutations.
• Often used for recurrent ovarian cancer or advanced stages.

Immunotherapy

• Enhances the body’s natural immune system to fight cancer cells.
• Immune checkpoint inhibitors are being explored in clinical trials as promising options.

Radiation Therapy

• Uses high-energy beams to destroy cancer cells.
• Primarily used for symptom management in advanced or metastatic ovarian cancer.

Hormone Therapy

• Blocks hormones that can promote cancer growth.
• Often considered for specific types of ovarian cancer, such as stromal tumors.
