Your doctor may refer you to a gynecologist-oncologist who specializes in reproductive cancer treatments.  Treatment for ovarian cancer depends on many factors, including the stage of the cancer, the cancer cell type, your general health, and desire to have children in the future.  You may opt to receive a second opinion about the best kind of cancer treatment for you.  Treatment for ovarian cancer usually includes surgery that is followed by chemotherapy.  Radiation therapy is rarely used. 
 
There are several different types of surgeries for ovarian cancer.  Surgery, an oophorectomy,  may be necessary to remove one or both ovaries.  A salpingectomy procedure removes one or both fallopian tubes.  A hysterectomy removes the uterus.  If both ovaries or the uterus are removed, a woman will not be able to become pregnant.  If both of the ovaries are removed, it will cause menopause to take place early.  When a cancer tumor cannot be completely removed, a procedure called debulking (cytoreduction) is used to remove as much cancer as possible.
 
For some types of ovarian cancers, surgery alone may be the only necessary treatment.  However, surgery is frequently followed by chemotherapy.  Chemotherapy uses cancer-fighting drugs to destroy cancer cells.  There are different types of chemotherapy, and the drugs are usually received in cycles over a period of time. 
 
Even with treatment, some cases of ovarian cancer may return.  This is termed “recurrent ovarian cancer.”  The cancer may come back near the site of the original cancer or in other parts of the body.  Your doctor can explain your risk for recurrent ovarian cancer and possible treatments if it does recur.
 
The experience of ovarian cancer, cancer treatments, and infertility can be an emotional process for people with cancer and their loved ones.  It is important that you receive support from a positive source.  Some people find comfort in their family, friends, counselors, co-workers, and faith.  Cancer support groups are another good option.  They can be a source of information and support from people who understand what you are experiencing.  Ask your doctor for cancer support group locations in your area.
