What are other epithelial ovarian cancer treatments?

Depending on the cancer type, you may get one or more of these treatments after surgery:

• Chemotherapy to kill cancer cells. Treatments include platinum compounds (carboplatin) and paclitaxel (Taxol®) or docetaxel (Taxotere®).
• Intraperitoneal chemotherapy to treat stage 3 ovarian cancer by injecting cisplatin and paclitaxel directly into your abdominal cavity through a surgically placed catheter (thin, hollow tube).
• Targeted therapies like bevacizumab (Avastin®) to stop cancer cells from growing and multiplying.
• Radiation therapy to destroy cancer cells with high-energy X-ray beams.
