After examination, Sister Li has a huge ovarian tumor in her abdomen, which is an advanced stage of ovarian cancer, and there is still a lot of ascites. She needs chemotherapy and radical surgery. Sister Li and her family felt unacceptable for a while: I felt very healthy before, and I didn’t feel any discomfort. Why did the tumor suddenly end?

What should I do in the event of ovarian cancer?
The diagnosis and treatment of ovarian cancer is highly specialized and is the “professional commanding heights” in the field of gynecology. For the treatment of ovarian cancer, thorough surgery, standardized chemotherapy and maintenance therapy are the “troika” of the entire management system for patients with advanced ovarian cancer.
Standardized and thorough surgery is the cornerstone of the treatment of ovarian cancer patients. Surgery should achieve “R0” as much as possible. In layman’s terms, it is to achieve “clean cuts”; standardized chemotherapy is the guarantee to defend the effect of surgical treatment, and correct clinical decision-making is very important. The choice of chemotherapy regimen is of great significance for the treatment of ovarian cancer that is prone to recurrence, especially for some special types of advanced ovarian cancer. The application of PARP inhibitors after surgery and chemotherapy has become a recognized standard therapy for ovarian cancer. In recent years, with the emergence of the concept of maintenance therapy, especially the advent of PARP inhibitors, a variety of PARP inhibitors have successively entered medical insurance, bringing good news to the majority of ovarian cancer patients.
Weifang People’s Hospital Gynecology District 1 has established a gynecological oncology multidisciplinary diagnosis and treatment team (MDT) in recent years, covering gynecology, medical oncology, radiotherapy, pathology, radiology, surgery and other disciplines. Experts have conducted in-depth analysis and discussion on special cases, in order to achieve individualized and standardized diagnosis and treatment, which has achieved good results.
