Surgical treatment of ovarian cancer
Patients with malignant ovarian tumor when treatment is late (> Phase II), ovarian cancer is the surgical treatment called tumor or cytoreductive surgery or large resection.
Surgery is to do everything possible to the original tumor resection and can see the pots, peritoneal metastasis, so that each region of residual lesion diameter of less than 2.0 cm to 1.5 cm. Intraoperative from ascites fluid or cells for blood screening. Because ovarian and uterine cancer often, the annex or visco-invasion, peritoneal and keep pots, it is more of "carpet-volume" or "dumplings", from extraperitoneal space elements from the peritoneal wall, bladder and pelvic floor serous peritoneal, along with the uterus and pelvic peritoneum block tumor resection. The pots have peritoneal metastasis tissues or organs should be possible to complete resection or partial resection, resection of the omentum, some intestinal resection, resection of the bladder or ureter shifting values. The removal of the tumor as possible aim is to enhance postoperative radiotherapy and chemotherapy effect. The merger of ovarian cancer ascites, regardless of whether all resection are advised to intraperitoneal indwelling catheter for intraperitoneal injection of anti-cancer drugs. Anti-cancer drugs or radioisotopes for preparation also can be injected directly unresectable tumors.
Surgery can not decide in its benign and malignant ovarian tumor resection specimens should be admitted or contralateral ovarian tissue frozen tablets sent for histopathologic examination. There is no such conditions, generally after the contralateral normal ovarian As can be temporarily retained, pathological specimens were sent checks to clear in nature, and close observation. The previous suspected metastatic ovarian tumor and failed to find its source, should be in operation in detail in the original exploration of abdominal lesions, after further treatment for reference.
