Overview
Chemotherapy for ovarian cancer is a type of treatment that uses powerful drugs to kill cancer cells. It is used as a primary treatment for some stages of ovarian cancer, and after surgery to reduce the risk of cancer recurrence. It is usually administered intravenously and works by preventing cancer cells from replicating and growing. Chemotherapy can be used to reduce tumor size, and can also help improve quality of life for those who are suffering from the advanced stages of ovarian cancer. It has been shown to improve outcomes for many patients and has significantly increased life expectancy in those diagnosed.
