This section aims to indicate the number of surgical procedures for ovarian cancer.
The female internal reproductive system also includes two small organs, the ovaries, which, in addition to their reproductive function, produce hormones (estrogen and progesterone).
Among the risk factors for ovarian cancer is age: in most cases, it is identified after menopause (between the ages of 50 and 69).
The first-line treatment for ovarian cancer is surgery: both in apparently early cases (to determine the true spread of the tumor) and in advanced cases (to remove all visible tumor masses). If the disease is in its very early stages, surgery can be curative.
It is important to know that there are indicators, developed by the National Outcomes Program (PNE), developed by AGENAS on behalf of the Ministry of Health, which provide information on the number of interventions and their outcomes.
For ovarian cancer, a specific indicator has been developed relating to the number of surgeries performed. The greater the number of surgeries performed by the healthcare facility, the greater the experience the staff can boast.
The Find Facilities tool was designed to provide you with as much information as possible about the services available in accredited public and private hospitals. In the “Facility Details” section, you can check the availability of “Transfusion Center” and “Resuscitation Services” for each facility found. These services improve the timeliness of care in the event that a patient requires blood and/or intensive care, thus avoiding a potential increase in critical situations related to the surgical procedures the patient has undergone.
Your trusted doctor will address your concerns and guide you towards an informed choice of treatment. Contact him or her for all the information you need for your health needs.
