Ovary Cancer Treatment in Delhi
Understanding Ovarian Cancer
Ovarian cancer is one of the leading causes of gynecologic cancer deaths worldwide due to its subtle symptoms and late detection. However, with timely diagnosis and expert care, outcomes can be significantly improved.
Dr. Parminder Kaur, a trusted gynecologic oncology expert in Delhi, offers advanced ovarian cancer treatment with a focus on precision and individualized patient care.
Who is at Risk?
While ovarian cancer can occur at any age, certain factors increase the risk, such as:
- Family history of ovarian, breast, or colorectal cancer (e.g., BRCA mutations)
- Increasing age, particularly postmenopausal women
- Genetic conditions like Lynch syndrome or BRCA mutations
- Never having been pregnant
- Early menarche and late menopause
- Hormone replacement therapy
- Obesity and smoking
Early risk assessment and genetic counseling can play a key role in prevention and early detection.
Symptoms You Shouldn't Ignore
Ovarian cancer symptoms often mimic benign conditions, making awareness crucial. Key signs include:
- Persistent abdominal bloating or swelling
- Pelvic or abdominal pain
- Frequent or urgent need to urinate
- Difficulty eating or feeling full quickly
- Unexplained weight loss or fatigue
If you notice any of these signs, consult a gynecologic cancer specialist for thorough evaluation and testing.
Comprehensive Ovary Cancer Treatment Approach
Dr. Parminder Kaur follows a meticulous, stage-specific treatment strategy that is personalized to each patient’s medical and emotional needs.
Diagnosis is typically confirmed via:
- Pelvic ultrasound
- CA-125, CEA, CA 19.9 and other tumor markers blood tests
- CT/MRI scans
- PET-CT
- Image guided biopsy when needed
Surgical Management
Surgery is the cornerstone of ovarian cancer treatment. Dr. Parminder is experienced in:
Cytoreductive Surgery- which includes complete removal of all the visible disease from abdomen and pelvis.
- Total abdominal hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy
- Omentectomy and Peritonectomy/ peritoneal biopsies
- Para-aortic and Pelvic Lymph node dissection
- Fertility-preserving surgery for selected early-stage cases
The primary goal is optimal tumor removal (debulking), which significantly influences survival rates.
HIPEC for Advanced Ovarian Cancer
For selected patients with advanced-stage ovarian cancer, HIPEC (Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy) heated chemotherapy drug is used in combination with surgery, after optimal debulking of disease, to destroy residual cancer cells.
Dr. Kaur is among the few specialists in Delhi skilled in this complex yet promising technique, aimed at reducing recurrence and improving long-term outcomes.
Chemotherapy & Targeted Therapies
Depending on the stage and type of ovarian cancer, adjunct treatments may include:
- Systemic chemotherapy is recommended as adjuvant therapy post surgery for stage 2,3,4 disease or as neo-adjuvant chemotherapy before surgery for patients where complete removal of tumor is not feasible.
- Targeted therapies such as PARP inhibitors (especially in BRCA-mutated cases)
Every treatment plan is designed keeping the patient’s quality of life and future health in mind.
Borderline Ovarian Tumors: A Low-Malignancy Ovarian Condition
Borderline ovarian tumors (BOTs), also called tumors of low malignant potential, are a unique form of ovarian tumor that grow slowly and are less aggressive than typical ovarian cancers. They most often affect younger women and are usually discovered early, offering an excellent prognosis.
Unlike invasive cancers, these tumors are often managed with fertility-preserving surgery and do not typically require chemotherapy. Dr. Parminder Kaur provides individualized care for borderline ovarian tumors, ensuring accurate diagnosis, minimally invasive treatment, and close long-term follow-up.
Diagnosis
- Pelvic ultrasound or MRI
- Mildly elevated or normal tumor markers
- Surgical removal followed by histopathological analysis
- Often discovered during surgery for ovarian cysts or related issues

- Fertility-sparing surgery (removal of affected ovary or cyst)
- Complete surgery (hysterectomy with BSO) for those not planning fertility
- Chemotherapy usually not needed, unless invasive implants are found
- Managed with a personalized approach based on age, stage, and fertility goals
Focus on Prevention and Genetic Counseling
Dr. Kaur strongly advocates preventive care for high-risk women, which includes:
- Genetic testing for BRCA and Lynch syndrome
- Regular pelvic examinations and imaging
- Prophylactic surgery in high-risk individuals
- Long-term follow-up care and emotional wellness support
Post-Treatment Follow-Up and Support – Ovary Cancer
- Scheduled imaging (CT/MRI) and CA-125 blood tests for recurrence monitoring
- Nutritional and lifestyle guidance to rebuild strength and immunity
- Management of treatment-related side effects (fatigue, neuropathy, menopause)
