卵巢肿瘤|Diagnosis & Treatments
如何诊断卵巢肿瘤？
The first step in treating your child is forming an accurate and complete diagnosis. After a complete medical history and physical exam, your child’s physician may recommend:
- 尿液和血液检查
- 骨盆ultrasound
- computerized tomography (CT) scan
- a procedure to examine the interior of the abdomen, used to determine the size, grade, and stage of a tumor
There may be other diagnostic tests that your doctor will discuss with you depending on your child's individual situation. After we complete all necessary tests, our experts meet to review and discuss what they have learned about your child's condition. Then we will meet with you and your family to discuss the results and outline the best possible treatment options.
卵巢肿瘤有哪些治疗选择？
您的孩子的医生将根据几个因素来确定特定的治疗方法，包括孩子的年龄，整体健康和病史以及肿瘤的大小和恶性肿瘤。
Your child's treatment will almost always include surgery. Pediatric gynecologic surgeons will remove as much of it as possible, while attempting to preserve your child's ability to have children. If an ovarian cyst growth is cancerous, and the cancer has spread far, the ovaries, uterus, fallopian tube, fatty tissue covering the intestines (omentum), and lymph nodes may be removed, in a process called debulking.
如果肿瘤是恶性的，则治疗也可能包括化学疗法and/orradiation therapy
Chemotherapy and radiation therapy
化学疗法是一种干扰癌细胞生长或繁殖能力的药物。手术前的化学疗法可能有助于缩小肿瘤，从而可以切除。手术后使用，可以帮助抵抗癌症的复发。不同的化学疗法药物以不同的方式起作用，可以抵抗癌细胞和收缩肿瘤。您的孩子可能会口服化学疗法，作为吞咽的药丸；肌肉内，作为注入肌肉或脂肪组织的注射；静脉注射，直接注射到血液或IV中；或胸前，作为通过针头直接注入脊柱。我们的医生还使用专用机器的高能射线来损害或杀死癌细胞并收缩肿瘤。
