Ovarian Cancer

Description

An in-depth report on the causes, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of ovarian cancer.

Radiation Therapy

Radiation therapy is not typically used in ovarian cancer. This is due to the fact that radiation would need to be given to the entire abdomen and pelvis, increasing its toxicity. Radiation is sometimes useful to treat isolated areas of tumor that are causing pain and are no longer responsive to chemotherapy.
