Abstract:
The majority of deadly cancers that afflict the female reproductive system occur in the
ovary. Around 1,40,000 women worldwide die from ovarian cancer each year, making it the sixth
most common cancer-associated deceases among females in the United States. Modern, cutting-edge
treatments like chemotherapy and surgery frequently produce full remissions, but the recurrence rate
is still very high. When this crippling condition is diagnosed, there are frequently few therapeutic
choices available because of how quietly it manifests.
Healthcare practitioners must have a fundamental grasp of the warning signs and symptoms of ovarian
cancer, as well as the imaging techniques and treatment choices available, to give the patient the
best care possible. The discipline of medical nanotechnology has gained a lot of momentum in recent
years in resolving issues and enhancing the detection and treatment of different illnesses, including
cancer.
This article gives a brief summary of types, risk factors and approaches to ovarian cancer treatment.
We subsequently discussed the pathophysiology of ovarian cancer with the risk factors. This review
also emphasizes the various signalling pathways involved in ovarian cancer. Our comprehensive integration
of recent findings in fundamental research in the nano arena reveals the strong interest in these
nanomedicines in ovarian cancer treatment. However, these nanomedicines still require more research,
as indicated by the comparatively small number of clinical trials ongoing. This article will
provide a reference for ovarian cancer treatment.
