Ovarian cancer is a type of cancer that develops in the ovaries, which are the female reproductive organs responsible for producing eggs and hormones such as estrogen and progesterone. Treatment may include surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy and targeted therapies, and depends on the stage and extent of the cancer. Oncothermia may be a complementary option to help fight the cancer. In this type of cancer, as in any other, it must be taken into account that each treatment must always be recommended and supervised by a professional.
