Treatment of Ovarian Cancer In Israel - About Methods and Achievements.

Ovarian cancer is one of the most dangerous cancer tumors and the fifth most topical cause of death from cancer pathologies in women. The insidiousness of this disease lies in the rapid growth and metastasis outside the ovaries into the abdominal cavity, for which he was called an "inconspicuous killer."

The risk area includes women who did not give birth, those who have a genetic predisposition, ovarian cysts , inflammatory processes, girls who have had breast cancer.

The initial periods of ovarian cancer do not represent a clear clinical picture, which can lead to the onset of tumor diagnosis. Particularly obvious signs appear in the late stages of the disease, when a malignant process has started metastasizing to the abdominal region, and is caused by pressure caused by a growing tumor: compression of the digestive organs causes abdominal swelling and abnormality in the intestine, and compression of the portal vein promotes the growth of ascites (fluid accumulation Mass in the peritoneum), enlargement of the liver. In addition, there may be pain in the abdomen and in the lumbar region, frequent urination, bleeding, or unusual discharge from the vagina, usually after menopause.

The diagnosis of ovarian cancer in Israel is conducted from a gynecological examination for the detection of tumors and is supplemented by:

* Blood test for the presence of oncomarker;

* Transvaginal ultrasound (ultrasound scan);

* Histological analysis of the ovarian epithelium by biopsy, which is carried out by three methods: surgical, laparoscopic methods and using aspiration diagnostic puncture;

* Methods of visual diagnosis - PET-CT and MRI.

In patients with a number of advanced stages with hereditary predisposition of oncological disease, they are trying to conduct genetics tests with the goal of preventing ovarian cancer.

The choice of therapy "treatment of ovarian cancer in Israel" is directly dependent on the duration of the disease, the diameter of the tumor, the visual health status, how many years the patient and the desire of the patient to have children.

The main method of therapy for oncology of the ovaries is surgical intervention. Preferred is the radical approach to surgery, which aims to remove all ovaries, uterus and tubes. This method is justified by frequent cellular metastases in another ovary and the tendency of malignant formation to accelerated metastasis through the tubes to the uterine region. However, in the early phase, girls of childbearing age can be satisfied with the removal of one ovary and further therapy with chemotherapy.

Progressive chemicals used in Israel in the treatment of ovarian cancer through a special catheter can be injected directly into the abdominal cavity, which allows to pinpoint the existing malignant bodies there with a greater concentration of the chemical, and avoiding their general toxic effect on the body.

Radiotherapy is used mainly to soften the symptoms and relapse after the completion of other treatments.

An innovative method for the treatment of ovarian cancer in Israel is considered mitigating "spot therapy" drugs that affect only cancer cells in order to block their development and not affecting healthy cells.
