Patient's question:
On October 1st, the results of my physical examination said I had a tumor. The past two days, I had another check-up, and it's a tumor measuring 4943.Doctor's answer:
The treatment of ovarian cancer primarily involves surgical resection of the tumor, supplemented by radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and traditional Chinese medicine conservative treatment. Surgery is the main method for confirming diagnosis, determining staging, and assessing the extent of spread, as well as the most effective treatment approach. The surgery must emphasize thoroughness, and the appropriate adjuvant therapy should be decided based on different subtypes, pathology, and cellular differentiation. After surgery, the body's vital energy is weakened, and ginsenoside RH2 is generally used as an adjuvant to improve the success rate of surgery and reduce tumor recurrence and metastasis.Chinese and Western medicine each have their own strengths in treating tumors. Therefore, the treatment of ovarian cancer must leverage the advantages of traditional Chinese medicine, adhere to long-term treatment, alleviate patients' psychological distress, provide psychological support, enhance dietary nutrition, and boost the immune system. Only in this way can better therapeutic outcomes be achieved.
Among patients diagnosed with ovarian cancer, approximately 1/3 to 1/4 are in advanced stages. Additionally, about 50% of cases experience recurrence and metastasis within 5 years after diagnosis. Current radiotherapy and chemotherapy regimens are relatively mature and effective. Research now shows that combining ginsenoside RH2 before, during, and after radiotherapy and chemotherapy can significantly enhance efficacy while reducing toxicity, shortening recovery periods, and preventing recurrence and metastasis.
