Ovarian Cancer
Over 25,000 cases of ovarian cancer were reported in 2004, and over 26,000 in 2005. Of these, nearly 16,000 were expected to die each year. Ovarian cancer kills more woman than any other reproductive cancer. The poor rate of remission by orthodox oncology is of concern. A "cure" is defined as "surviving 5 years after the first diagnosis" Most patients do not survive that long with orthodox therapy.
Symptoms are not immediately apparent and many of those could be caused by other diseases. This unfortunately frequently results in a late diagnosis. Symptoms include bloating, fatigue, weight loss, and urinary tract problems. As the tumor grows, it presses against surrounding organs and the symptoms become more pronounced. The doctor will do a pelvic examination to look for signs of ovarian cancer. Other tests may include ultrasound, CT scans and a barium enema with x-rays that help the radiologist see the shape of the bowel and rectum and visualize problems. This will probably be followed with a
biopsy to determine if cancer cells are present.
Traditional treatment includes surgery, intensive chemotherapy, and frequently radiation. The ovaries and the uterus are usually removed from older women, particularly those with an advanced condition. If the cancer involves a whole ovary, or both ovaries, or has spread to other tissues, the changes for recovery fall.
Alternative therapy for ovarian cancer would include hyperthermia, sonodynamic therapy, plus an aggressive course of herbal and nutritional supplements. We need to get ahead of the growth cycle and put a stop to cell division. Using alternative techniques in our hospitals, our 5 year survival rate was always above 60%.
