- Computed tomography scanning
- Magnetic resonance imaging
- Skiagraphy
- These imaging techniques will help to diagnose whether cancerous cells are having their impact on adjacent organs and tissue.

6) How is the Treatment Process?
A gynecologist and oncologist both are involved in the treatment. The treatment usually involves combination of surgery and chemotherapy. The surgery can remove one ovary, or both the ovaries or sometimes both ovaries and the uterus for advanced cancer.
Chemotherapy is used to kill the cancer cells before the surgery. The targeted therapy will be used as medications that targets the specific cancer cells. Your doctor will decide which process is most suited according to your condition.
7) What I should ask my Surgeon?
- You shall confirm from your surgeon that only single ovary is being removed or both of them are getting removed.
- Ask whether your disease has been progressed to a metastatic stage
- You shall discuss about the duration of your hospital stay after surgery if required.
- Get an idea about the cycles of chemotherapy and radiation you will be undergoing.
- Confirm whether additional surgery may be required or no.
- Ask about the side effects of chemotherapy that shall be expected
- Confirm about the follow up sessions you will require post-surgery.
8) How should I care before and after the treatment?
As cancer is a life-threatening disease, it is always better for the patient to get a session of counselling done with the help of Counselors regarding their disease as it may help to overcome the phobia regarding the treatment. They should even talk about the side effects of the treatment with chemotherapy like severe hair loss, fatigue, nausea, decreased appetite, oral ulcers, constipation or diarrhea. They shall be motivated to do exercises and maintain a healthy lifestyle.
After the treatment of ovarian cancer, you need to visit regularly to your health care professional to decide the plan of treatment as he will be deciding the cycles of chemotherapy and radiations that will be required.
Also, regular scanning shall be done as per his opinion to prevent further spread of the disease and to detect earlier if metastasis is present in any other organs.

Post-surgical treatment plan should be discussed with your health care provider as your stay will depend on duration of course of your treatment options like chemotherapy and radiotherapy.
