The basic or elective treatment of ovarian cancer in its first stages is surgical, and usually consists of radical surgery, in which the uterus and ovaries are removed, the peritoneum is explored (and biopsies are taken if there are suspicious lesions), the lymph nodes in the area are eliminated, and it may even be necessary to remove intestinal segments, in order to eliminate all possible tumor locations.
In young patients who wish to have offspring, a more conservative surgery can be performed in some cases, which would be completed later, once desires of descent have been fulfilled.
In advanced stages, as much of the tumor as possible is removed, so that whatever remains may be treated after surgery with chemotherapy. If there is no surgery option it is treated with chemotherapy.
