The early diagnosis of any cancer is the best way to have a successful treatment and to finish with him completely. And ovarian cancer is no exception and it is good to know as is usually diagnosed. Sometimes a doctor may feel a mass within or outside the ovary during a routine pelvic examination.
Also some of these masses can be seen during an ultrasound, but most of these lumps or masses are not cancer. The only way that your doctor knows for sure that you have ovarian cancer is by taking a biopsy during surgery, there the surgeon makes an incision in your abdomen to look inside your body. During the surgery he will remove tumors found and sent to a lab to give you a diagnosis.
Surgery is also the main treatment for this cancer, your doctor will remove it through all the tumors that you can see, which usually requires taking one or both ovaries and sometimes even the fallopian tubes and uterus completely. After this surgery the most common is that they make a chemotherapy is treatment with chemicals that kill cancer cells.
This form of cancer sometimes returns after treatment, so you have to make regular tests during the rest of your life. Note that this cancer is very serious, but many women survive it. It all depends on your general health and your age and whether it was something after the surgery and whether it has spread to other organs.
