Granulosa cell tumour medical therapy

Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy is used after surgery to treat any remaining disease. Chemotherapy can also be used if the cancer comes back. Chemotherapy may be given into the veins, or sometimes directly into the abdominal cavity (intraperitoneal).

Post-Op
After surgery and chemotherapy, patients should have:


 * A physical exam (including pelvic exam) every 2 - 4 months for the first 2 years, followed by every 6 months for 3 years, and then annually


 * A CA-125 blood test at each visit if the level was initially high


 * Your doctor may also order a computed tomography (CT) scan of your chest, abdomen, and pelvic area and a chest x-ray.

Radiation Therapy
Radiation therapy is rarely used in ovarian cancer in the United States.
