Gynaecological surgeons can offer a range of treatment options for managing cancer and its symptoms.
Advanced laparoscopic surgery: This is a minimally invasive technique that is done with the help of a thin tube called a laparoscope and small incisions.
Robotic surgery: Like laparoscopic surgery, this approach offers less discomfort and shorter recovery periods as well. In addition, with the help of surgery, the surgeon can operate with better precision and accuracy without affecting the surrounding healthy tissues.
Intraoperative radiation therapy or IORT: The IORT is a radiation technique used to treat advanced cancers that are localized but have spread from the original tumour site. During IORT, a high dose of radiation is given directly to the cancer site to destroy the cancer cells.
Intraperitoneal chemotherapy: In this technique, chemotherapy drugs are delivered into the abdomen for the treatment of ovarian cancer. Intraperitoneal chemotherapy provides a better survival advantage in comparison to intravenous chemotherapy alone.
