Symptoms and treatment of ovarian borderline tumors

Female friends must pay attention to their physical health on a daily basis, especially the daily protection of ovarian health requires more care. Ovarian borderline tumor is a relatively common tumor. The degree of deterioration of this type of tumor is relatively low compared to the human body, so we need to carry out early prevention and physical health protection through daily care to do a good job in the prevention and treatment of ovarian borderline tumor.

Symptoms and signs

Ovarian borderline tumors may metastasize to lymph nodes, and the affected lymph nodes are mostly pelvic and para-aortic lymph nodes. The lesions of the affected lymph nodes are similar regardless of whether the tumor is accompanied by implantation. Seidman counted 43 cases of borderline serous tumors with lymph node metastasis and found that the survival rate reached 98% after 6.5 years (median) follow-up. There is currently no evidence that pregnancy will exacerbate the clinical progression of borderline ovarian tumors.

Medication

The main treatment for borderline ovarian tumors is surgical treatment, and adjuvant therapy is not recommended except in special cases. What is significantly different from the past is that the concepts of microfocal infiltration and non-invasive implantation have been introduced, providing a basis for the treatment of borderline tumors.

1. Conservative surgery for borderline ovarian tumors Conservative surgery usually refers to resection of the affected side of the ovary and is suitable for young patients who want to have children. The surgery should meet the following conditions:

①The patient is young and eager to have children;

② Confirmed as stage I, the contralateral ovary and fallopian tube are normal;

③ Long-term follow-up after surgery is possible. If a young patient has a tumor on one ovary, ascites or peritoneal lavage fluid is usually collected after laparotomy, and then one side of the ovary is removed first. If there is any suspicion during the dissection, frozen sections are sent. If the pathology report shows a borderline ovarian tumor, the contralateral ovary should be dissected and sent for pathological examination. At the same time, the pelvis and upper abdomen should be carefully explored. If there is no evidence of malignancy, no other surgery is required. The resected specimen should be examined by sectioning every 1 to 2 cm to determine whether there is invasion. If the postoperative paraffin section pathological examination shows cancer, ovarian cancer restaging surgery and/or chemotherapy can be performed according to the situation.

If we find that a female friend has symptoms of ovarian borderline tumor in daily life, we can use the above-mentioned treatment methods to relieve the symptoms of our ovarian disease in time. Patients need surgery to cure the symptoms of ovarian borderline tumors in a timely manner. During the prognosis, patients must pay attention to daily physiological care to avoid recurrence of the disease.
