What other drugs should be taken after chemotherapy for ovarian cancer surgery?

  Patient: My sister is 48 years old, she was found to have left ovarian cancer in June 2008, she had a hysterectomy, ovarian, bilateral adnexal, and large omental resection, pathology diagnosis 1, left ovarian clear cell carcinoma bladder plasma membrane metastasis, 2, bilateral fallopian tubes and large network, intestinal canal, peritoneum did not see metastasis. 28 days of treatment once, a total of 8 times, the first 5 times is paclitaxel intravenous, carboplatin intraperitoneal infusion, the last 3 times all intravenous injection The first 5 times were paclitaxel intravenous and carboplatin intraperitoneal instillation, and the last 3 times were all intravenous, and every time I had all kinds of laboratory tests done, such as liver function, CA125, alpha-fetoprotein, etc., and every time I had ultrasound of kidney, liver, gallbladder and spleen, bladder, pelvis and breast, all were normal. When to do the second year of chemotherapy?  Wenxin Liu, Department of Gynecologic Oncology, Tianjin Cancer Hospital: The treatment is more appropriate, and chemotherapy is not needed for the time being, but every 2-3 months, and if there is any abnormality, then chemotherapy will be done again (doing it again will not increase the survival period). The examinations include gynecological examination, ca-125 (methotrexate does not need to be checked), BUS or CT, and PET-CT can be done intermittently if possible. You can take anti-cancer herbal medicine appropriately in between chemotherapy, because ovarian clear cell carcinoma is more malignant and is a stage 2 patient, you can consider doing immunotherapy to prolong tumor-free survival.  Patient: Thank you, Dr. Liu, for your answer. I started to take Guizhou Yibai Pharmaceutical’s compound half-hair capsule in the past few days, and then I would like to ask, is PET-CT a whole abdomen enhanced CT and what is BUS? Is immunotherapy the biological treatment mentioned in your article, is it an oral drug or an injection, how many courses of treatment do I have to do, what is the price, do I have to be hospitalized? We would love to get your help.  Wenxin Liu, Department of Gynecologic Oncology, Tianjin Cancer Hospital: PET-CT is much stronger than enhanced CT, its full name is positron emission computed tomography. It is one of the most advanced medical imaging technologies and is one of the best clinical tools to diagnose and guide the treatment of tumors. Immunotherapy is biological therapy, where the patient’s blood is extracted to extract anti-cancer active cells, which are cultured and expanded in vitro (to a multiple of 7-9 times 10 according to different ways), and then infused back to me in 10 days or so, which can be done in both outpatient and inpatient settings.  Patient: When is the biological treatment done and how much blood is taken from the patient each time?  Tianjin Cancer Hospital, Department of Gynecological Oncology, Liu Wenxin: It can be done at any time, and can be done in conjunction with chemotherapy or alone in the interval, about five to ten milliliters of blood is taken at a time.  Patient: How long is the interval between 3 times?  Wenxin Liu, Department of Gynecologic Oncology, Tianjin Cancer Hospital: Once a month.  Patient: Thank you, Dr. Liu, can you give us some information about biologic therapy, we would like to know more about it, and cases treated with biologic therapy.  Wenxin Liu, Department of Gynecologic Oncology, Tianjin Cancer Hospital: Please see my article about biological therapy.  Patient: How long is it good to take anti-cancer herbal medicine, taking the compound Zhanmao capsule that I am taking now as an example? Is it also possible to take some herbal medicines to regulate body functions?  Wenxin Liu, Department of Gynecological Oncology, Tianjin Cancer Hospital: There is no definite time limit, like your case, you can take it for a long time. You can also take some other so-called body-conditioning drugs at intervals. But regular review is very crucial, once it comes back, chemotherapy is irreplaceable.  Patient: Can we join the Women’s Cancer Club created by your hospital and what are the usual activities? It would be good if we can communicate with each other online.  Liu Wenxin, Department of Gynecologic Oncology, Tianjin Cancer Hospital: Of course, we can participate in it. We are now holding activities from time to time, and each time there is a different topic, and medical and nursing patients are in fellowship together. It is a pity that the online platform has not been built yet because of the tight staff in the department, if it is built, I will release the information in time, and then we can communicate.
