The young woman who was diagnosed with early stage ovarian cancer may be able to perform surgery without losing their fertility.
Traditionally, treatment of ovarian cancer involves removal of both ovaries and uterus, which puts young women into menopause and end their chance to conceive and bear children. But a study published in Cancer, by researchers at Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons, shows that 5-year survival rate for the first stage ovarian cancer patients together with patients who had both ovaries removed and the Wanta who only one affected by ovarian cancer that was removed.
“If a woman is young, yet menopause and considered capable of bearing children in the future, he does not need a hysterectomy (removal of uterus) and he will not be completely removed both her ​​ovaries,” said Dr. Beth Y. Karlan, director of the Women’s Cancer Research Institute at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. Karlan was not involved in this research. “The procedure is usually safe to do so and still provide healing and allow a woman to appreciate her life goals. We saw a lot of women recovering from ovarian cancer. In stage 1, the recovery is a very realistic goal.”
