About this Treatment: Surgery for Ovarian Cancer
About Surgery for Ovarian Cancer
Surgery is the mainstay treatment for ovarian cancer, regardless of the cancer type or stage. The first surgery for ovarian cancer is the most important one. At that time, all the cancer tissue should be removed to give you the best possible long-term outcome.
Often surgery is done to remove not only the ovaries, but also all the reproductive organs including the uterus, cervix, and fallopian tubes, as well as pelvic lymph nodes. Surgery may be combined with other treatments as well.
Your doctor will recommend what kind of surgery is an option for you based on your diagnosis, the stage of cancer, and your preferences.
The goals of surgery are to remove the cancer, reduce the risk that it returns, preserve healthy body tissue, and support your quality of life.
Surgery may be recommended at any stage of ovarian cancer or if cancer recurs.
