Ovarian Cancer Treatment

In Karol Bagh, Delhi

Ovarian cancer begins when abnormal cells grow uncontrollably in one or both ovaries, the organs responsible for producing eggs and hormones. It is often called a silent disease because early symptoms can be subtle and easily mistaken for other conditions, which makes awareness and timely evaluation important.

Symptoms

Symptoms may include bloating, pelvic or abdominal pain, difficulty eating or feeling full quickly, and urinary urgency or frequency. Other signs include fatigue, back pain, changes in bowel habits, and unexplained weight changes, particularly if these persist for several weeks.

Causes

Risk factors include family history of ovarian or breast cancer, inherited gene mutations such as BRCA1 and BRCA2, increasing age, obesity, and hormone-related factors. A history of endometriosis may also increase risk.

Diagnosis

Diagnosis involves a pelvic examination, imaging such as ultrasound or CT scan, and blood tests including CA-125 levels. A biopsy, often obtained during surgery, confirms the diagnosis and helps determine the stage.

Treatment

Treatment typically combines surgery to remove the tumour with chemotherapy, and may include targeted therapy in certain cases. M|O|C Cancer Care Center in Karol Bagh, Delhi, provides expert ovarian cancer care with a compassionate, patient-centred approach.
