Concluding Part - Grading Of Cancer Cells

SURGERY
 

A number of cases of ovarian cancer may require an operation. In case where the cancer is at a very early stage, that is just confined to the ovary and has not spread, then an operation to remove the affected ovary and associated fallopian tube may be all the treatment required. However, in many cases the cancer has already grown into other nearby structures or has spread. Therefore, a more extensive operation is often needed.
 

For example, the operation may involve removing the affected ovary, plus the uterus, the other ovary and also other affected areas in the lower abdomen.
 

CHEMOTHERAPY
 

Chemotherapy is a treatment of cancer by using anti-cancer drugs which kill cancer cells or stop them from multiply. Chemotherapy is commonly given after having an operation. The aim is to kill any cancer that has been left behind after the operation. Sometimes chemotherapy is given before surgery to reduce the size of the cancer. This may make surgery easier and more likely to be successful.
 

RADIOTHERAPY
 

Radiotherapy is a treatment that uses high energy beams of radiation which are focused on cancerous tissue. This kills cancer cells or stops cancer cells from multiplying. Radiotherapy is not often used for ovarian cancer. It is sometimes used following surgery to kill cancer cells which may have been left behind after the operation. Radiotherapy may also be used to shrink secondary tumour that have developed in other parts of the body and are causing pain or other symptoms.
 

GENERAL LOOKOUT
 

Prognostic - wise, the later the stage and the higher the grade of the cancer, the poorer the outlook. On the other hand, there is a good chance of a cure if ovarian cancer is diagnosed and treated when the disease is at an early stage; that is when it is still confined to the ovary and has not spread.
 

Unfortunately, most ovarian cancers are not diagnosed at the early stage. This is because symptoms often do not occur until after the cancer has grown quite large or has spread. In this situation, a ‘cure’ is less likely but still possible. Even if a cure is not possible, treatment can often slow down the progression of the cancer.
 

SCREENING
 

Currently, there is no screening test for ovarian cancer that is offered to all women in Nigeria as is the case, to some extent, with cervical cancer. However, researches are underway in advanced medical setting to see if a screening tests being studied are the CA-125 blood test and regular ultrasound scan of the ovaries.

Grading Of Cancer Cells

After a biopsy of the cancer is taken, or cancer cells are found in aspirated fluid, the cells can be assessed, and the cancer graded, by looking at certain features of the cells under the microscope.

•    Grade 1 (low grade) – the cells look reasonably similar to normal ovarian cells. The cancer cells are said to be ‘well differentiated’. The cancer cell tends to grow and multiply quite slowly and is not so ‘aggressive’.

•    Grade 2 – is a middle grade.

•    Grade 3 – the cells look very abnormal and are said to be ‘poorly differentiated’. The cancer cells tend to grow and multiply quite quickly and are more ‘aggressive’.

The import of the above is that finding out the stage and grade of the cancer helps doctors to advice on the best treatment options. It also gives a reasonable indication of the outlook.

Treatment Options

Treatment options may include surgery, chemotherapy and sometimes radiotherapy. The treatment advised for each case depends on various factors such as the stage and grade of the cancer, and the general health of the patient. A specialist gynecologist or an experienced doctor in this area of care will be able to give the pros and cons, likely success rate, possible side-effects and other details about the various possible treatment options for a particular type and stage of cancer.
Aims of treatment

•    In a number of cases, treatment aims to cure the cancer; although doctors tend to use the word ‘remission’ rather than the word ‘cured’. Remission means there is no sign of cancer following treatment. If one is ‘in remission’, one may be cured. However, in some cases a cancer returns months or years later. This is why physicians are sometimes reluctant to use the word cured.

•    In some cases, treatment aims to control the cancer. If a cure is not realistic, with treatment it is often possible to limit the growth or spread of the cancer so that it progresses less rapidly. This may keep one free of symptoms for some time.

•    In some, however, treatment aims to ease symptoms. For example, if a cancer is advanced the patient may require treatments such as painkillers or other symptoms. Some treatments may be used to reduce the size of a cancer which may ease symptoms such as pain.

Ovarian Cancer - Early Assessment And Initial Tests

1.    On physical examination done by a doctor, he/she may feel an enlarge ovary and other suspicious abnormalities.

2.    An ultra sound scan assessment, a painless test which uses sound waves to create images of structures inside the body may confirm an enlarged or abnormal ovary. Here the probe of the scanner may be place on the abdomen or inside the vagina to scan the ovaries.

3.    CA-125 blood test – a sample of blood from the patient can detect a protein called CA -125. The level of CA-125 is high in more than 8 in 10 women with advanced ovarian cancer and in about half of women with early ovarian cancer. Other non-cancerous conditions can also cause a high level. This means that this test does not conclusively diagnose or rule out ovarian cancer, but it can be helpful in monitoring the effects of ovarian cancer in those already undergoing medical intervention.

Other Test/Staging The Cancer

Depending on the symptoms that the concern individual has and the results of the initial tests, further tests may be recommended. These tests can help to confirm the diagnosis and ‘stage’ the disease. The aim of staging is to find out:

1.    How much the tumour has grown and whether it has grown to other nearby structures such as the uterus, bladder or rectum.

2.    Whether the cancer has spread to other areas of the body (metastasized)

3.    Whether the cancer has spread to local lymph glands (nodes).

Stages of ovarian cancer range from ‘borderline’ and stage 1 (where the cancer is totally confined to an ovary) to stage 4 (where there is extensive spread of the cancer). Tests that are used may include one or more of the following:

•    CT scan or MRI scans of the lower abdomen. These scans can provide details of the structure of the internal organs.

•    A chest x-ray to check if the cancer has spread to the lungs.

•    Blood tests to assess the general health and to check if the cancer has affected the function of the liver or kidneys.

•    Scans of the bowel or urinary tract. These tests are more likely to be needed if there are symptoms such as constipation or too frequent urination which may indicate the cancer has spread to these areas.

•    Aspiration of fluid in the abdomen and screen for cancer cells.

•    Laparoscopy – this is procedure done to look inside the abdomen by using a laparoscope which is passed through a small incision made on the abdomen skin. It light up and magnifies the structures inside the abdomen. The ovaries and other internal organs can be seen whilst small samples (biopsies) can be taken for inspection under the microscope to detect and confirm cancer cells.
 

How Common Is Ovarian Cancer?

Ovarian cancer is relatively common in woman, rivaling closely cervical cancer in the incidence rate. The majority of cases are in woman over 50 years old, although it can occur in younger women.

TYPES
There are various types of ovarian cancer. They are classified by the type of cell from which the cancer originates as noted below:

1.    Epithelial ovarian cancer- it is the most common type (about 90% of cases). This type of cancer develops from one of the cells that surround the outside of each ovary. Epithelial ovarian cancer mainly affects women over 50. It is rare in younger women.

2.    Germ cell ovarian cancer – this develops from connective tissue cells (the cells that fill the ovary and produce hormones). This type of cancer is however rare.

As it is inferable in earlier articles on cancer, the treatment and prognosis (outlook) are different for each type of ovarian cancer. However, because of its relatively high prevalence, we shall mainly focus on the epithelial type of ovarian cancer.

CAUSES AND RISK FACTORS

In most cases, the cause of ovarian cancer develops is not known. However, there are factors which are known to alter the risk of ovarian cancer developing. These include:

1.    Age: most cases occur in women over the age of 50.

2.    Ovulation factor. Factor that reduce the number of times a woman will ovulate slightly lower the risk. For example, taking the combined oral contraceptive pill, having children and breastfeeding. In contract, not having children and having a late menopause slightly increase the risk.

3.    Being overweight or obese increases the risk.

4.    Taking the combined oral contraceptive pill provides some protection from ovarian cancer. This protection seems to continue for many years after stopping the pill.

5.    Sterilization or hysterectomy (removal of the uterus) appears to reduce the risk slightly.

6.    Taking HRT (hormone replacement therapy) may slightly increase the risk.

Symptoms Of Ovarian Cancer

More often for victims of ovarian cancer, no symptoms manifest for quite time after the cancer first develops. Symptoms may only be noticed when the tumour has become quite large. As the tumour grows, the most common early symptoms are:

1.    Constant pain or a feeling of ‘pressure’ in the lower abdomen.

2.    Difficulty eating and feeding full so quick. Other symptoms that may also develop include:

3.    Loss of appetite.

4.    Pain in the lower abdomen when having sex.

5.    Passing urine frequently (as the bladder is ‘irritated’ by the nearby tumour).

6.    Change in bowel habits such as constipation or diarrhea.

7.    A more marked swelling of the abdomen. This is caused by as cites, which is an extensive collection of fluid in the abdomen indicating increased growth and spread of the cancer to the main inside of the abdomen.

It is importance to note however that all the above symptoms can be caused by various other conditions other than ovarian cancer. Similar, when symptoms first start they often appear ‘vague’ for some time, example as mild discomfort in the lower abdomen, which may be thought to be due to other conditions. The possibility of ovarian cancer may not be considered for some time until the symptoms get worse.

In the same win, if the cancer spreads to other parts of the body, various other symptoms can develop. For an example, if it so reads to lungs in the chest, chronic cough may occur.
