CHOOSING THE STAGE OF TREATMENT IN PATIENTS WITH ADVANCED FORMS OF OVARIAN CANCER

Abstract

Ovarian cancer ranks third among the tumors of the reproductive system in women. This disease has no screening.It is characterized by a latent course and, as a result, is diagnosed at the advanced stages of the tumor process. There are two methods of treatment for this disease: aggressive cytoreductive surgery and anticancer drug therapy. However, the phasing of approaches causes controversy among oncologists. This article will consider approaches to choosing the stage of treatment for patients with advanced ovarian cancer based on the analysis of international studies.
