If you have ovarian cancer what does the operation consist of?
The goals of surgery in regards to Ovarian Cancer are to establish a diagnosis, determine the stage and remove as much cancer as possible. The surgical goal is not to leave any nodule larger than 1cm which is about a quarter of an inch. ChaCha again!

About Ovarian Cancer
Ovarian cancer is a cancer that starts in the female reproductive glands, called the ovaries, where the ova (eggs) are produced. Ovarian cancer is the fifth most common type of cancer and is the leading cause of death in female reproductive cancers. The more children a woman has could decrease her risk of developing ovarian cancer. Women with either a personal or family history of breast and/or ovarian cancer also have a higher risk for ovarian cancer.
