Ovarian cancer develops in the ovaries, which are responsible for producing eggs and essential hormones. It is often detected at a later stage due to subtle symptoms such as bloating, pelvic discomfort, or digestive changes. Surgery plays a critical role in both diagnosing and treating ovarian cancer. It allows doctors to remove tumors, determine the stage of the disease, and, in some early cases, achieve a complete cure. In advanced stages, surgery helps reduce tumor size, making additional treatments like chemotherapy more effective.
