Condition introduction

Ovarian cancer starts in the ovaries, which are part of the female reproductive system. It is often difficult to detect in the early stages because symptoms are vague and can be easily mistaken for other common conditions. Symptoms may include abdominal bloating, pelvic pain, increased urinary frequency, and changes in bowel habits. As the disease progresses, it can spread to other parts of the body.

Services provided by the department

Our department offers advanced diagnostic tools, including transvaginal ultrasound, CA - 125 tumor marker testing, and genetic testing for BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations. Treatment options include cytoreductive surgery to remove as much of the cancer as possible, followed by chemotherapy with the latest drug combinations. We also participate in international clinical trials of new targeted therapies and immunotherapies, giving patients access to cutting - edge treatments.
