Chemotherapy Ovarian Cancer

Chemotherapy Ovarian Cancer

Chemotherapy Systemic chemotherapy uses drugs that are injected into a vein or given by mouth. These drugs enter the bloodstream and reach all areas of the body, making this treatment potentially useful for cancers that have metastasised (spread) beyond the organ they started in. Ovarian cancer starts in a woman's ovaries. There are two ovaries, one on each side of the pelvis. The ovaries produce eggs and are the main source of the female hormones, oestrogen and progesterone. A malignant (or cancerous) tumour that begins in the ovaries is called ovarian cancer.
