Stages of Ovarian Cancer People should distinguish first the stages of ovarian cancer before having the treatment of ovarian cancer done. These are the following: Stage I - Cancer cells will be found in one or both ovaries Stage IA - single ovary Stage IB - both ovaries Stage IC - one or both ovaries Stage II - Cancer cells will be found in one or both ovaries but they have already spreas in the pelvis area Stage IIA - have already spread in the fallopian tubes and uterus Stage IIB - have already spread in the pelvis and tissue StageIIC - have already spread in both fallopian tubes and uterus and tissue and pelvic area Stage III - Cancer cells will be found in one or both ovaries but they have already spread outside the pelvic are to a woman's tummy and lymph nodes. Stage IIIA - there is tumor in the pelvis and the cancer cells have already come across the small intestines Stage IIIB - worse than Stage IIIA Stage IIIC - the cancer cells have already gone in to the lymph nodes Stage IV - Camcer cells have gone to the tummy, to the lungs and liver. Almost affective everywhere. There are three most common ways or techniques or treatment of ovarian cancer: Surgery Through surgery, the cancer cells are being removed from one or both of the ovary and to other affected parts of a woman's body. It depends on how many affected parts there are. The more parts affected the harder the surgery will be. Chemotherapy Chemotherapy is one of the famous treatment of ovarian cancer. It uses drugs to destroy these cancer cells. These drugs are only prescribed by the physicians and specialists. Radiation Treatment Radiation treatment is used in selected instances only. Because of the radiation risks, it might harm the patient. It uses extreme energy from x-rays to kill those cancer cells. This is a very dangerous treatment as well and only given in special cases. Once you know that you have this kind of cancer or someone close to you has been diagnosed of having cancer, do not ignore medical advice. Seek treatment of ovarian cancer immediately.
