OVARIAN CANCER

A scholar from the Netherlands led multinational collaborative research suggest that the early epithelial ovarian cancer surgical staging, can predict whether the patients have residual ovarian cancer and the need for postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy.

1. Bilateral abdominal tumor malignant ovarian tumor growth, both accounting for 75%, and bilateral benign ovarian tumor was only 15%.

2. Mass fixed One of the characteristics of ovarian cancer.

3. Although ascites benign ovarian tumors such as fibroids or papillary also cystadenoma with ascites, malignant ovarian tumor with ascites more, and because of the cancer cell wall or piercing has been transferred to peritoneal (Head seized observation or examination), a sustained bloody ascites.

4. Cachexia course of a long delay, due to long-term consumption, loss of appetite and weight loss sexual performance, fatigue, malaise and cachexia symptoms.

Most of the malignant ovarian tumors, radiation therapy for various effects are poor. Therefore, in the treatment of malignant ovarian tumor was not first consider radiotherapy. After laparotomy confirmed to be malignant ovarian tumor resection not all, in vitro viable X-ray irradiation. But many of ascites are not OK radiotherapy; The abdominal tumor metastasis to the effect of not limited to those within the pelvic cavity. X-ray irradiation is also used in vitro malignant ovarian tumor before and after surgery. Preoperative radiotherapy for patients with radiation therapy after the word four to six weeks should surgery again night, while radiation caused by adhesions, surgery often caused difficulties. Surgery will be in regular radiation treatment after two weeks before and after the start, such as whole body ill patients should first correct.
(1), abdominal irradiation radiation field including full pots of abdominal viscera, or by Ono divided into two to four vertical irradiation of Ono, tumor dose of 25 Gy ~ / 6 to 8 weeks. General liver, kidney tolerance were 30 Gy and 18 Gy, such as the super-dose, should shielding protection. Whole abdominal irradiation after Ono, the largest general tolerance of 30 Gy / 6 to 7 weeks. This dose is not LD50 of ovarian cancer, while Ono irradiation reaction, difficult patient tolerance. Delcios in 1963, a fully mobile strip abdominal irradiation in the treatment of ovarian cancer. Each abdominal irradiation of 10 cm, radiation field from the upward movement in the entire basin to include abdominal, each irradiation in 12 days. Tumor radiation dose of 26 to 28 Gy. The biological effects of radiation and improve the patient's response to radiotherapy.
(2), pelvic tumor irradiation dose of 40 to 60 Gy, 6 to 8 weeks to complete.
(3), plus whole abdominal pelvic irradiation Ono whole abdominal irradiation may be, or transfer surgery strip irradiation dose with the former. Pelvic organ tolerance, to improve efficacy, and pelvic irradiation dose of 20 to 30 Gy, ovarian cancer is the commonly used method.
(4), abdominal radionuclide therapy for patients early preventive treatment, and only a small residual tumor after treatment. Surgery not cut net of malignant ovarian tumor metastases can be injected with the radioactive colloid 98 or 32 P, or diluted with saline injected into the abdominal cavity to prevent cancer formation of ascites, malignant ovarian cancer has been with ascites, the catheter may produce ascites part, to be injected colloidal gold 98 or 32 P . It should be noted 98 of the radioactive colloid and 32 P for intraperitoneal injection, also caused radioactive hepatitis possible, it should be repeated in application check liver function for timely processing.

Despite preventive ovariectomy in the prevention of high-risk patients with ovarian cancer in a certain role, but still cautious, because ovarian cancer and distinguish the cavity cancer can occur. In one study, 16 of 28 high-risk family members to preventive ovariectomized later, three occurred, and diffuse abdominal cancer. These high-risk patients, and that the author: genetic susceptibility not only confined to the ovary, but also extends to occur in embryos with ovarian related organizations. Formerly, reported preventive nest after resection of 324 cases of women, six cases (1.8%) of the peritoneum of the original tumor. Therefore, the preventive after resection of primary ovarian peritoneal tumor, and less common, the incidence rate of about 2%.

Fourth Military Medical University Xijing Hospital maternity doctor completed a Biochemistry and the National Natural Science Foundation-funded projects that vascular endothelial growth factor in epithelial ovarian cancer and the formation of blood vessels play an important role.

Biochemistry and immunohistochemical methods used to detect 37 cases of epithelial ovarian cancer of vascular endothelial growth factor expression showed that ovarian cancer and vascular endothelial growth factor related. Therefore, the use of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor-card issuers ribozyme eukaryotic expression vector, in ovarian cancer-specific antibody-mediated tumor cell block under the vascular endothelial growth factor expression levels of genes in the treatment of ovarian cancer provides a strong basis.

【Medical industry network HealthDayNews2003 According to the July 3 - now on the younger female epithelial ovarian cancer, some important information: your chances of survival much more than older patients.

In July, "Obstetrics and Gynecology" (Obstetrics andGynecology), the journal published a new study, the researchers found: diagnosis of advanced epithelial ovarian cancer in women aged under 45 of the 5-year survival than those over the age of 45 is two times bigger. "If all other aspects of the same, young patients can live better," the author, Stamford University professor Chen (JohnChan): In fact, even if it is possible to study the impact of factors, such as other health problems, age patients still live better.

Many female menstrual disorder is often encountered problems, including extending or shortening cycle, increased amount of bleeding, these belong to dysfunctional bleeding, referred to as DUB.

Women of childbearing age are generally more because luteal function well, resulting in menstrual disorders, which means although cycle, but the cycle will shorten, or more menstrual bleeding. Some 20 days to the first menstruation, it is because luteal function well. Similarly some may last 30 days, but rather a long time hemorrhage, which is bad because luteal function caused. While these cases more, but the problem is not very serious and <BR>, relatively speaking, not a great amount of bleeding.

Denmark Gronloud such report, as paclitaxel plus platinum chemotherapy after complete remission in patients with ovarian cancer, if recurrence of a solitary lesion again cytoreductive surgery may improve survival. (Eur J Surg Oncol 2005,31:67)

In the retrospective study selected criteria: 1 Guide to the residual initial stage operation and confirmed by histological examination of epithelial ovarian cancer; (2) complete remission after first-line treatment; 3. Imaging confirmed pots peritoneal metastasis; (4) Surgical resection of lesions for the purpose.

In recent decades, the treatment of gynecologic cancer progress has been made, but only the ovarian cancer there is no significant improvement. The incidence of ovarian cancer Habitat Gynecologic Oncology third, but it was the first fatality rate. Its cause high mortality due to the growth of ovarian cancer site concealment, not be seen directly, patients still in the early stages of the lack of simple and practical method of diagnosis. Most (about 70%) have been newly diagnosed patients with peritoneal metastasis pots. Currently taken by surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy and immunotherapy for the treatment of Chinese medicine integrated with the right therapy, in the treatment of advanced worse still, it is difficult to avoid recurrence. But by early diagnosis and treatment of patients with ovarian cancer prognosis is quite different. Case in epithelial ovarian cancer, according to statistics, the five-year survival rate, 80% for stage I, 40% for Stage II; While Ⅲ period just below 5%. Visibility early detection, early diagnosis and treatment of patients with ovarian cancer is a lifetime event.

Abdominal mass
Medium large following abdominal tumor, without complications or malignant, its greatest feature is movable, can often move from abdominal pelvic push.
Mass General of tenderness, but in case of complications or malignant transformation, tumor itself is not only tenderness, and even stimulate peritoneal symptoms.

Levy ascites
There often ascites tumor characteristics, such as benign ovarian cyst and fibroid may produce ascites papillary cystadenoma. Endocrine symptoms such as hair, voice role the extra change, as the masculine clitoral hypertrophy cyst.

Cachexia
It is characterized by extreme abdominal swelling, significant weight loss, painful facial expressions and serious diseases.
