Stage 1 ovarian cancer treatment — What does this stage mean?
Stage 1 ovarian cancer is confined to the ovaries. Treatment is primarily surgical staging — total hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, omentectomy, and pelvic and para-aortic lymph node sampling. For Stage 1A grade 1 in younger women wanting fertility, conservative surgery (unilateral salpingo-oophorectomy) may be an option.
