Treatment for ovarian cancer centers primarily on surgery to remove the ovaries, fallopian tubes, and possibly the uterus. Surgery may be used along with chemotherapy and sometimes radiation therapy. In some instances, targeted therapy, which uses specially designed drugs to block specific cancer-fueling molecules, or hormone therapy, which uses drugs such as tamoxifen or aromatase inhibitors to block hormones that fuel certain ovarian cancers, may also be employed.
