Ovarian cancer often goes undetected in the early stages due to vague symptoms. However, some common warning signs include:
- Persistent bloating or abdominal swelling
- Pelvic or abdominal pain
- Frequent urination or urgency
- Unexplained weight loss
- Loss of appetite or feeling full quickly
- Fatigue and back pain
- Menstrual irregularities
Diagnosing ovarian cancer requires a combination of clinical evaluation and diagnostic tests, including:
- Pelvic Examination: A gynecologist checks for any abnormalities in the ovaries and surrounding areas.
- Ultrasound (Transvaginal/Abdominal): Provides detailed imaging of ovarian cysts or tumors.
- CA 125 Blood Test: This test measures the levels of CA 125, a protein that may be elevated in ovarian cancer patients. However, CA 125 is not always specific to cancer and can also be elevated in conditions like endometriosis and pelvic inflammatory disease.
- CA125 रक्त चाचणी म्हणजे काय?
CA125 हा रक्तात आढळणारा एक प्रथिन घटक आहे, जो अंडाशयाच्या कर्करोगाच्या निदानासाठी आणि त्यावर लक्ष ठेवण्यासाठी वापरण्यात येतो. जरी CA125 पातळी वाढली असेल तरी ती केवळ कर्करोगाचे लक्षण असते असे नाही—गर्भाशयाच्या समस्या, एंडोमेट्रिओसिस, गरोदरपणा किंवा संसर्गामुळे देखील ती वाढू शकते. - CT Scan/MRI: Helps in assessing the spread of cancer to nearby organs.
- Biopsy: A definitive diagnosis is made by analyzing tissue samples from the ovaries.
अंडाशयाचा कर्करोग हा स्त्रियांमध्ये आढळणारा गंभीर आणि कधी कधी उशिरा निदान होणारा आजार आहे. सुरुवातीच्या टप्प्यात लक्षणे सौम्य असू शकतात, त्यामुळे वेळेत तपासणी करणे अत्यंत महत्त्वाचे आहे.
The treatment plan for ovarian cancer depends on the stage, type, and patient’s overall health. Common treatment options include:
- Surgery
Surgery is the primary treatment for ovarian cancer. The goal is to remove the tumor and affected tissues. Laparoscopic surgery, performed by specialists like Dr. Gopalkrishna Gawade, is a minimally invasive approach that offers faster recovery and minimal scarring. Surgical options include:
- Oophorectomy (removal of one or both ovaries)
- Hysterectomy (removal of the uterus)
- Debulking surgery (removal of as much cancerous tissue as possible)
- Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy uses drugs to kill cancer cells and is often administered after surgery to eliminate any remaining cancerous cells. It can also be used before surgery to shrink the tumor.
- Targeted Therapy
Newer treatments, such as targeted therapy, focus on specific genetic mutations in cancer cells to prevent their growth and spread.
- Radiation Therapy
Although not commonly used for ovarian cancer, radiation therapy may be considered in certain cases.
Laparoscopic surgery is a minimally invasive option for diagnosing and treating ovarian cancer. Dr. Gopalkrishna Gawade specializes in laparoscopic gynecological procedures, offering patients benefits such as:
- Smaller incisions and reduced scarring
- Faster recovery time
- Lower risk of infections and complications
- Shorter hospital stays
