Treatment options for women with ovarian cancer are…
-Surgery
-Chemotherapy 
-Radiation therapy

-Removing the cancer in an operation


-The surgeon makes a long cut in the wall of the abdomen. This type of surgery is called a laparotomy.

If ovarian cancer is found, the surgeon removes:

-Both ovaries and fallopian tubes (salpingo-oophorectomy)
-The uterus (hysterectomy)
-The omentum (the thin, fatty pad of tissue that covers the intestines)
-Nearby lymph nodes
-Samples of tissue from the pelvis and abdomen

If the cancer has spread, the surgeon removes as much cancer as possible. This is called "debulking" surgery.

-Chemotherapy uses drugs to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing.

-Chemotherapy is given in cycles. Each treatment period is followed by a rest period. The length of the rest period and the number of cycles depend on the anticancer drugs used.

-Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays or other types of radiation to kill cancer cells or keep them from growing.

-Radiation therapy is rarely used in the initial treatment of ovarian cancer, but it may be used to relieve pain and other problems caused by the disease.
