手术在卵巢上皮癌的诊断、检查和治疗上、都占有首要的地位。尽管已有了化学及放射等重要的辅助疗法,但切除术仍为卵巢癌的关键性治疗措施。只有手术才能够在切除肿瘤后进行明确的组织学诊断,也才能够查明肿瘤扩展的确切情况,作出分类并决定以后的治疗措施。此外,在治疗过程中常规施行再次剖腹探查术(第二次观察),才能够真正鉴定化学疗法的疗效。 Surgery in the diagnosis, examination and treatment of epithelial ovarian cancer, have taken the primary status. Although important adjuvant chemotherapy and radiotherapy are available, resection is still the key treatment for ovarian cancer. Only surgery can clear the histological diagnosis after resection of the tumor, and it is possible to ascertain the exact circumstances of tumor expansion, make a classification and decide on the future treatment. In addition, routine laparotomy (second observation) during the course of treatment can truly identify the efficacy of chemotherapy.
