2. Cancer Treatment in Pune? Ovarian cancer surgery is a crucial part of the treatment plan for most women diagnosed with ovarian cancer. The approach to surgery varies based on the stage of cancer, which determines how far the disease has spread and the extent of tissue removal needed. Surgery aims to remove the cancerous tissue, reducing the risk of recurrence and increasing the e?ectiveness of additional treatments like chemotherapy. Early Stage Ovarian Cancer (Stage 0 or 1): In the early stages, ovarian cancer is con?ned to the ovaries and has not spread to other areas of the body. Treatment at this stage focuses on removing the cancer while preserving as much of the healthy tissue as possible. The goal is to ensure no cancer remains, reducing the chance of recurrence. In some cases, women may opt for fertility-sparing surgery, where only the a?ected ovary and fallopian tube are removed if the cancer is very early (Stage 1A). Post-Surgery Treatment: Depending on the ?ndings, some women may not need further treatment, while others may receive chemotherapy to kill any remaining cancer cells. Advanced Stage Ovarian Cancer (Stages 2, 3, and 4): In advanced stages, ovarian cancer has spread beyond the ovaries to other parts of the pelvis, abdomen, or distant organs. Surgery at this stage is more extensive and focuses on removing as much of the cancer as possible (debulking surgery). Post-Surgery Treatment: Chemotherapy is almost always required after surgery to target any remaining cancer cells. The aim is to reduce the tumor size as much as possible before starting chemotherapy. Importance of Surgery in Ovarian Cancer (In Short): Surgery is crucial for both early and advanced ovarian cancer: Accurate Staging: Surgery helps determine the cancer stage, guiding further treatment. Early-Stage (Stage 1): Surgery may cure early-stage ovarian cancer by removing a?ected organs. Advanced-Stage (Stages 2-4): Debulking surgery removes as much cancer as possible, improving chemotherapy e?ectiveness. Better Survival: Optimal debulking enhances survival by reducing tumor load before chemotherapy.
