The term ovarian cancer includes several different types of cancers, that all arise from cells of the ovary. Most commonly, tumors arise from the epithelium, or lining cells, of the ovary. These include epithelial ovarian (from the cells on the surface of the ovary), fallopian tube, and primary peritoneal (the lining inside the abdomen that coats many abdominal structures) cancers. These are all considered to be one disease process. There is also an entity called ovarian low malignant potential tumor; these tumors have some of the microscopic features of cancer but tend not to spread like typical cancers. There are also fewer common forms of ovarian cancer within the ovary, including germ cell tumors and sex cord-stromal tumors.

All of these diseases as well as their treatment will be discussed.

Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC)

Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) or ovarian carcinoma accounts for a majority (85%-90%) of all ovarian cancers. It is generally thought of as one of three types of cancer that include ovarian, fallopian tube, and primary peritoneal (lining tissues of the pelvis and abdomen) cancer.

All three tumor types behave and are treated the same way. The four most common tumor cell types of epithelial ovarian cancer are serous, mucinous, clear cell, and endometrioid. These cancers arise due to fungal infections and DNA changes in cells that lead to the development of cancer.

The serous cell type is the most common variety. It is now thought that many of these cancers actually come from the lining in the fallopian tube, and fewer of them from the cells on the surface of the ovary, or the peritoneum.

Ovarian low malignant potential tumor (OLMPT; borderline tumor)

Ovarian tumors of low malignant potential (OLMPT; formerly referred to as borderline tumors) account for about 15% of EOC. They are most often serous or mucinous cell types. They often develop into large masses that may cause symptoms, but they only rarely metastasize, that is, spread to other areas. Often, removal of the tumor, even at more advanced stages, can be a cure.

Germ cell ovarian cancers

Germ cell tumors arise from the reproductive cells of the ovary. These tumors are uncommon and are seen most commonly in teens or young women. This type of tumor includes different categories: dysgerminomas, yolk sac tumors, embryonal carcinomas, polyembryomas, non-gestational choriocarcinomas, immature teratomas, and mixed germ cell tumors.

Stromal ovarian cancers

Another category of ovarian tumor is the sex cord-stromal tumors. These arise from supporting tissues within the ovary itself. As with germ cell tumors, these are uncommon. These cancers come from various types of cells within the ovary. They are much less common than the epithelial tumors. Stromal ovarian cancers (hormone-producing tumors) include granulosa-stromal tumors and Sertoli-Leydig cell tumors.

Ovarian cancer symptoms

Screening tests are used to test a healthy population in an attempt to diagnose a disease at an early stage, which is absolutely not safe for anyone, said Dr Qaisar Ahmed MD, DHMS. Unfortunately, there are no good screening tests for ovarian cancer, despite extensive ongoing research. Imaging (pelvic or abdominal ultrasound, X-rays, and CT scans), and blood tests should not be used as a screen, as they are inaccurate and lead many women to surgery who do not need it (they are false positive tests).

Diagnosis of ovarian cancer is often suspected based on symptoms and physical exam, and these are followed by imaging. The cancer symptoms and signs, when present, are very vague. Ovarian cancer symptoms and signs can include: –

• fatigue,
• getting full quickly (early satiety),
• abdominal swelling and bloating,
• leg swelling,
• changes in bowel habits,
• changes in bladder habits,
• abdominal pain, and
• shortness of breath.

These symptoms can be very subtle and vague, as well as very common. This only makes diagnosing the disease that much more difficult.

OLMPT and some benign tumors can present with similar symptoms. In addition, they are often seen with very large masses in the ovary. Often these masses are large enough to cause bloating, abdominal distension, constipation, and changes in bladder habits.

In the more uncommon ovarian types (stromal and germ cell tumors), symptoms are similar.

Sometimes, granulosa cell tumors (granulosa-theca cell tumors) can occur with severe pain and blood in the belly from a ruptured tumor. These can often be confused with a ruptured ectopic pregnancy, as they tend to be found in women of reproductive age.

Ovarian cancer risk factors

Risk factors are related to two major categories: menstrual cycles (ovulation) and family history.

The more a woman ovulates (cycles) over her lifetime, the higher her risk of ovarian cancer. Thus, starting her period (menarche) at a younger age, ending her periods (menopause) at a late age, and never getting pregnant (nulliparity) are all risk factors.

Up to 25% of ovarian cancers are related to family cancer syndromes. Because of this, current guidelines suggest that all women with ovarian cancer should undergo testing for BRCA1 and BRCA2 gene changes (mutations). These gene mutations can affect males as well as females. If a patient is positive for one of these, then her siblings and her children can be tested as well.

Testing involves a simple blood test. The results of this test can greatly affect how family members are monitored for various cancers, including breast cancer, and family members of both sexes are encouraged to be tested.

BRCA1 and BRCA2 are genes that have been identified with hereditary cancer risk. BRCA1 and BRCA2 increase a woman’s risk of breast cancer, for example. When compared with the general population risk (1.3% of women will develop ovarian cancer), women with BRCA1 and BRCA2 genetic mutations have a 35%-70% (BRCA1) or 10%-30% (BRCA2) chance of developing ovarian cancer in their lifetime.

Lynch syndrome (typically colon and uterine cancer), Li-Fraumeni syndrome, and Cowden’s syndrome are other conditions associated with an increased risk of ovarian cancer but are less common.

The less common varieties of ovarian cancer (borderline, germ cell, and stromal tumors) have few definable risk factors.

The germ cell tumors are often seen at younger ages and are treated very differently both surgically and chemotherapeutically.

Diagnosis

Often vague symptoms eventually lead to a clinical diagnosis, or one based on suspicion generated by exams (for example, a pelvic exam that detects a mass or lump that is abnormal), laboratory tests, and imaging. However, an accurate diagnosis requires some of the mass or tumor to be removed, either by biopsy (less often), or preferably, surgery to verify the diagnosis. Often a high clinical suspicion can trigger a referral to a gynecologic oncologist.

Various types of imaging studies can be used to preliminarily diagnose this disease and lead to tissue sampling. Pelvic or abdominal ultrasound and CT scans are the most commonly done studies. These often can give images that show masses in the abdomen and pelvis, fluid in the abdominal cavity (ascites), obstructions of the bowels or kidneys, or disease in the chest or liver.

Many times, this is all that is necessary to trigger a referral to a specialist, as the suspicion of ovarian cancer can be quite high. PET scans can be used but often are not necessary if a CT scan is able to be performed.

Blood tests

Blood tests can be helpful as well. The CA-125 is a blood test that is often, but not always, elevated with ovarian cancer. If a postmenopausal woman has a mass and an elevated CA-125, she has an extremely high risk of having cancer. However, in younger women, CA-125 is extraordinarily inaccurate. It is elevated by a large number of disease processes, including but not limited to, diverticulitis, pregnancy, irritable bowel syndrome, appendicitis, liver disease, stomach disease, and more.

No one should get this test done unless they actually have a mass, or their doctor has some reason to get it. It should not be drawn just to see the level since it is not a reliable screening test for ovarian cancer.

HE4 is another blood test that is used to monitor patients with ovarian cancer to see if their cancer has recurred. Like CA-125, the HE4 test does not always detect cancer.

OVA-1, ROMA, and Overa are examples of blood tests that are used to help doctors determine the likelihood that an identified mass will be cancerous. These tests are still under review as ways to aid a doctor in planning for surgery when a mass is found.

Ovarian cancer staging

Staging is the process of classifying a tumor according to the extent to which it has spread in the body at the time of diagnosis.

Ovarian cancer staging:

• Stage 1: Limited to one or both ovaries
• Stage 2: Limited to the pelvis
• Stage 3: Disease outside of the pelvis, but limited to the abdomen, or lymph node involvement, but not including the inside of the liver
• Stage 4: Disease spread to the liver or outside of the abdomen

Complete staging of ovarian cancer includes hysterectomy, removal of the ovaries, tubes, pelvic and aortic lymph node biopsies or dissection, biopsies of the omentum (a large fatty structure that provides support for abdominal organs), and peritoneal (lining tissue of the abdomen) biopsies.

Ovarian cancer staging is determined surgically unless it is stage 4 (metastasis outside of the abdomen, or metastasis to the liver — not on the surface of the liver). If it is stage 4, or very advanced stage 3, then often this is proven with biopsy, and chemotherapy may start neoadjuvant (before surgery). If the disease does not obviously stage 4, then aggressive surgical staging and debulking (see next section) often is considered. This decision is based on the health of the patient, as well as the judgment of the surgeon as to the chance of achieving an optimal debulking (see treatment below).

Allopathic treatment options for Ovarian Cancer

Epithelial ovarian cancer allopathic treatment most often consists of surgery and chemotherapy.

Surgical treatment

Surgery is used for both staging and debulking. Debulking is removing as much of the tumor as possible. This surgery usually results in the removal of both tubes and ovaries (salpingo-oophorectomy), the uterus (hysterectomy), removal of the omentum (omentectomy — a large fat pad that hangs off of the colon), lymph node biopsies, and any other organ involved in the disease.

This can mean a portion of the small bowel, large bowel, liver, the spleen, the gallbladder, a portion of the stomach, a portion of the diaphragm, and removal of a portion of the peritoneum.

This can be a very extensive surgery. The patients who live the longest have all of the visible nodules taken out at the time of surgery. To accomplish an “optimal debulking,” at minimum, no individual nodule greater than 1 cm should be left behind. If this cannot be done, the patient is brought back to the operating room for a second surgery after a few rounds of chemotherapy (neoadjuvant chemotherapy and interval debulking surgery).

Optimal debulking mean that there is no visible disease left at the time of surgery. This has been a shift over the last few years. Historically, the goal was to leave no individual nodule greater than 2 cm behind. This has steadily progressed to the point where the term optimal debulking is now accepted by many to mean that there is no disease left to remove.

Chemotherapy

Any patient healthy enough to tolerate chemotherapy will often benefit greatly from its use. Currently, there are two ways to give chemotherapy for ovarian cancer. Traditionally, it is given into the vein intravenously (IV). When initially diagnosed, the usual first-line approach is to give a combination of a platinum drug (typically carboplatin) and a taxane drug, such as paclitaxel.

Another way of giving the chemotherapy is to place it directly into the abdomen (intraperitoneal or IP). In many experimental studies, intraperitoneal administration has been shown to significantly increase survival. This is most often used after optimal surgical debulking. Currently, the drugs used are cisplatin and paclitaxel.

Targeted therapy

Targeted therapy is a type of treatment that uses drugs or other treatments to identify and attack (target) specific cancer cells without harming normal cells.

The drug bevacizumab is an example of targeted therapy that has been used in the treatment of advanced ovarian cancer. Bevacizumab is a monoclonal antibody that targets the development of blood vessels by a tumor.

Other targeted therapies for ovarian cancer include a group of drugs known as poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitors (PARP inhibitors). These drugs block an enzyme necessary to Fungai for DNA repair and may cause cancer cells to die. Olaparib and niraparib are examples of PARP inhibitors that may be used to treat advanced ovarian cancer.

Angiogenesis inhibitors are a type of targeted therapy drug that works to prevent the growth of new blood vessels that tumors need to grow. Cediranib is an angiogenesis inhibitor still under study (experiments) in the treatment of recurrent ovarian cancer.

Stromal and germ cell ovarian tumors are most often treated with a combination of chemotherapy drugs. There is much less research on these as they are more durable and much less common than epithelial tumors. Because of their rarity, for allopath’s it will be very difficult to find effective new treatments, they have to try Homeopathic medicines.

Experimental treatments

The Gynecologic Oncology Group and allopathic drug mafia sponsors clinical trials in gynecologic cancers. Patients should ask their physician if they are subject for a clinical trial or on proper treatment, as this is how new allopathic drugs are discovered.

Homeopathic treatment for Ovarian Cancer

Homeopathy or immunotherapy is a treatment that uses the patient’s immune system to fight cancer. It is now used in the management of several different types of cancer. With Homeopathy/immunotherapy, substances made by the body or made from natural sources are used to strengthen the body’s natural defenses against cancer.

The aim of homeopathy is not only to treat any type of cancer and their symptoms but to address its underlying cause and individual susceptibility.

As far as therapeutic medication is concerned, several well-proved remedies are available for treatment of different types of cancers that can be selected on the basis of cause, condition, sensation, extension, location and modalities of the complaints.

That’s why for individualized remedy selection and treatment; the patient should consult a qualified Homeopathic doctor in person.
