I just recently had a friend who had both cervical and ovarian cancer. The strange thing was the ovarian cancer was one type of cancer in stage 2 and the Cervical cancer was a totally different type of cancer in stage 1. She recovered fully from both.
in theory yes
Yes.
When it has spread to other areas.
Ovarian cancer does not produce specific symptoms that would clue doctors to this diagnosis. Most common symptoms include malaise, weakness, bloating, vague abdominal discomfort. There are no good blood markers that can diagnose ovarian cancer. Therefore, it is difficult to screen for ovarian cancer. By the time symptoms develop, quite often ovarian cancer can already be spread and metastasized.
Ovarian cancer can spread to the diaphragm. Once the cancer has spread to this important muscle, radical surgery and/or chemotherapy is needed. The Mayo Clinic has found out through research, that the radical surgery is actual a life saver -- it increases the chance of survival to over 40 % if they do proceed with the surgery to remove the ovarian cancer tumors from the diaphragm. Go to MAYOCLINIC.org for more information.
You'd really have to be more specific about the type of cancer--"ovarian cancer" really only means the primary cancer site was in the ovaries. You might try just typing in "ovarian cancer" on google and reading up on the various forms. I believe it is one of the fastest growing cancers, and unless treated early with surgery and chemotherapy can spread quite quickly. Unfortunately it has very few symptoms to start with, and can get overlooked in check-ups.
Clinical Ovarian Cancer was created in 2008.
There is no evidence that HPV causes ovarian cancer.
Wisconsin Ovarian Cancer Alliance was created in 2001.
Do you have to put every question I ask on the internet!
A pap smear will not detect ovarian cancer. Ovarian cancer won't affect whether a pap smear is normal or abnormal -- it could be either one.
Overall, ovarian cancer accounts for only 4% of all cancers in women
None. You cannot treat ovarian cancer with diet supplements.
