Ovarian Cancer
Causes, effects, symptoms and treatment of ovarian cancer
Ovarian Cancer
occurs in the cells of the reproductive system, these cells are the building blocks of tissues and organs. Basically, these cells grow and divide into more cells, and die when they are grown, and new cells take their place. But due to some causes of these life cycles, basic cell receives damage and began to grow quickly, without limiting any control. These cells form a vast mass of tissue that is known as a tumor
.
•: These tumors are not life-threatening tumors. This cancer can easily be removed by the process of operation. These tumors develop in the single location. They do not spread and invade other tissues around them. The benign tumor does not contain the metastatic properties (eg to other parts of the body) has
•: These tumors are cancers. They spread to other parts of the body. These tumors can be removed, but sometimes they grow back. Malignant tumors grow, the surrounding tissue and organs. These metastases characters
. Malignant tumors in other tissues besides the underground life of the tubes and uterus
. Ovarian cancer cells can break out of the ovarian tumor. Into the abdominal cavity can lead to gastrointestinal cancer
. This cancer cells spread to the lymph nodes of the pelvis, chest and stomach through the lymphatic system. These cancer cells can also spread to organs such as lung and kidney.
When ovarian cancer cells from spreading to the other parties to form a new tumor has the same characteristics of the primary tumor. For example, if ovarian cancer spreads in the lungs, the cancer cells in the lung actually ovarian cancer cells belong. Then the disease is called metastatic ovarian cancer and
:. The exact causes of this cancer are not found, but were identified risk factors for ovarian cancer. The following risk factors
:. Lack of pregnancy in women can have 2 to 3 times higher risk for ovarian cancer is much more that pregnant women •
: •
. Women who weight more than 50 books have • 10-times greater risk for ovarian cancer face
. The woman who faces the beginning of puberty before the age of 12 • have more risk factors for ovarian cancer
. Woman going through menopause after 50 years tend to cause ovarian cancer are
•. Family history may also be factors in the development of ovarian cancer. So please be sure to take screening tests for the diagnosis of ovarian cancer
•. Women with the level of high intake of estrogen-only therapy increases the risk factor for cancer of the ovaries •
Cause: Tamoxifen is a type of anti-cancer drug against the most useful in the treatment of . It is in excess, then there are increased opportunities • = “nofollow” onclick = “javascript:. _gaq.push (['_trackPageview', '/ Outgoing / article_exit_link/1064990']);” and • Abnormal vaginal bleeding

symptoms during the development of ovarian cancer found. Please make sure to diagnose the severity of the disease
test. Surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy are the best methods of treatment available to treat this cancer of the ovaries. Depending on the severity of cancer, your doctor describes treatment options
:. Surgery is the most important treatment for the cure of ovarian cancer at an early stage. This process of the operation is performed by identifying the first staging of ovarian cancer. The surgery is performed through a long incision in the abdominal wall to remove the tumors of the ovaries. Surgery is performed when the ovarian tumor is located in a single body part. During this process the damaged fallopian tube surgery, uterus, omentum and lymph nodes and surrounding tissue are removed with the ovaries. In some cases, most of the other infected organs are taken to prevent the spread of disease throughout the body.
: This treatment is based on the extent of the disease, radiotherapy is a process of elimination of cancer cells with high intensity of X-rays. These high-energy X-rays to destroy cancer cells for the ovarian tumor that process also causes damage to healthy cells for its side effects
•: .. External radiation therapy is performed outside the body. The powerful X-rays are directed at the affected area outside of the body. This process permanently destroys the cancer cells
•:. X-rays into the body through small cuts in transfer endometruim. This treatment leads to better results than treatment with radiotherapy
. Chemotherapy is a useful treatment to cells kill ovarian cancer caused by drugs. This treatment process is carried out either in tablet form or by intravascular injections. The anti-cancer drugs enter the bloodstream and travels to the damaged tissue and destroys the cancer cells.
chemotherapy drugs attack cancer cells by stopping their unusual growth. The type of cancer cells were in the normal cells made by divisibility
.
• In tablet or pill (oral)
• By injection (intravenous or intramuscular) injection on
• (intrathecal)
• Direct injection into abdominal vein.
This medicine cancer chemotherapy can be given either in hospital or at home. The use of this drug may be daily, weekly or monthly depending on what stage the cancer and the body’s own defenses. Chemotherapy is considering the following criteria such as age, sex, drug toxicity and body weight. The dosage and ease of use must be transported under supervision.Ovarian cancer is an abnormal growth of cancer cells. This is known as metastatic cancer, the effects and causes. This cancer also causes cancer of the endometrium and colon. This cancer can be cured in the early phase of his appearance. Surgery and cancer drugs are useful in the treatment of ovarian cancer.
