Diagnosis of Ovarian Cancer At Felix Hospital

Early detection is crucial in ovarian cancer, as it can significantly improve treatment outcomes. At Felix Hospital, we utilize the latest diagnostic techniques to ensure accurate and timely diagnosis, including:

  • Pelvic examination: Our gynecologists perform a thorough physical examination to check for any abnormalities in the ovaries, uterus, and surrounding organs.  

  • Imaging tests: We employ advanced imaging modalities such as transvaginal ultrasound, CT scans, and MRI to visualize the ovaries and detect any suspicious masses or growths.     

  • Biomarker testing: We analyze blood samples for elevated levels of CA-125, a protein that can be a marker for ovarian cancer, as well as other relevant biomarkers.

  • Biopsy: If necessary, we may perform a minimally invasive biopsy to obtain a tissue sample for further analysis and confirmation of the diagnosis.

  
Our experienced team of gynecologic oncologists, radiologists, and pathologists work collaboratively to ensure a comprehensive and accurate diagnosis, which is essential for developing the most effective treatment plan.
 

Treatment Options for Ovarian Cancer

At Felix Hospital, we offer a multidisciplinary approach to ovarian cancer treatment, utilizing a range of evidence-based therapies to achieve the best possible outcomes for our patients. Our treatment options include:

  • Surgery:

Surgery is often the primary treatment for ovarian cancer, and our skilled gynecologic oncologists are highly experienced in performing a range of surgical procedures, including:

  1. Debulking surgery: This involves the removal of as much of the visible tumor as possible, which can improve the effectiveness of subsequent treatments.     

  2. Salpingo-oophorectomy: The removal of one or both ovaries and fallopian tubes, depending on the stage and extent of the disease.     

  3. Hysterectomy: The removal of the uterus, which may be necessary in some cases of ovarian cancer.    

     

  • Chemotherapy 

Chemotherapy is often used in conjunction with surgery to target any remaining cancer cells and prevent recurrence. Our oncologists carefully tailor chemotherapy regimens to each patient's individual needs, considering factors such as the stage of the disease, the patient's overall health, and the potential side effects.

 

  • Targeted Therapy 

In some cases, we may recommend the use of targeted therapies, such as PARP inhibitors, which are designed to target specific genetic mutations or pathways involved in the growth and spread of ovarian cancer cells.

 

  • Radiation Therapy 

While less commonly used in the treatment of ovarian cancer, our radiation oncologists may recommend external beam radiation therapy or brachytherapy (internal radiation) in certain cases, particularly for the management of recurrent or advanced disease.

Frequently Asked Questions About Ovarian Cancer

 

1. What are the early signs and ovarian cancer symptoms? 
The early signs of ovarian cancer can be subtle and non-specific, often including ovarian cancer symptoms like bloating, pelvic or abdominal pain, difficulty eating, and frequent urination. These symptoms can be easily mistaken for other conditions, which is why ovarian cancer is often diagnosed at a more advanced stage.
    
2. Is ovarian cancer hereditary? 
In some cases, ovarian cancer can be hereditary, particularly if there is a family history of the disease or certain genetic mutations, such as BRCA1 and BRCA2. However, the majority of ovarian cancer cases are sporadic, meaning they occur without a clear genetic link.

 

3. What is the role of surgery in the treatment of ovarian cancer? 
Surgery is often the primary treatment for ovarian cancer, as it allows for the removal of the tumor and affected tissues. The type of surgery performed will depend on the stage and extent of the disease, and may include procedures like debulking surgery, salpingo-oophorectomy, and hysterectomy.


4. How effective is chemotherapy for ovarian cancer? 
Chemotherapy is a crucial component of ovarian cancer treatment, often used in conjunction with surgery. Depending on the stage and subtype of the disease, chemotherapy can be highly effective in reducing the risk of recurrence and improving overall survival rates.

 

5. Can ovarian cancer be prevented? 
While there is no guaranteed way to prevent ovarian cancer, certain risk-reducing strategies, such as oral contraceptive use, tubal ligation, and prophylactic oophorectomy (removal of the ovaries) in high-risk individuals, may help lower the risk of developing the disease.
