TREATMENT OPTIONS FOR RECURRENT OVARIAN CANCER

Clearly, the best way to deal with ovarian cancer is not to get it.  But if you do, probably the best place to be is New York City, where you can access the facilities of the Sloan Kettering Cancer Center.  If you happen to be in Boston, the Dana Farber Cancer Center probably is just as good.* But just don’t get it; or, if you do, catch it early.  Knowing a lot about your genetic makeup would help, but for most of us that’s difficult, and expensive.

Well, a Dana Farber researcher has summarized some new treatment options, explained below.  Make sure your oncologist knows this stuff; my guess is that a fair number of them don’t.

*And, if you live on the west coast, SCCA and Fred Hutch are the ones to consult.
