Cancer Drugs

The implementation of new drug treatments has improved the prognosis for advanced cancer of the cervix, uterus, and ovary. Platinum analogs are the most effective drugs in the treatment of ovarian cancer. Fertility drugs (FD) are spreading worldwide fast and therefore many studies have reviewed the possible association between the use of these drugs and cancer. Since the drugs used for ovulation induction during in-vitro fertilization (IVF) like hCG, hMG, rFSH increase the levels of gonadal hormones, concerns have grown regarding the risk of developing cancer in breast, ovary, endometrium, and other target organs. If the treatment plan involves chemotherapy you may experience physical, emotional, and/or psychological side effects related to this treatment. The side effects of ovarian cancer treatment depend on the type of treatment and may be different for each woman.
