Summary

TLDRDenna video förklarar ovarialcancer, en sjukdom som påverkar kvinnor och börjar i ovarierna. Ovarierna producerar ägg och hormoner. Ovarialcancer kan delas in i tre huvudtyper: epithelial, germcell och stromal. Riskfaktorer inkluderar ålder, fetma och hormonbehandling. Symtomen är ofta vaga och kan inkludera buksmärtor och oregelbundna menstruationer. Diagnos och behandling kräver att läkaren bedömer cancerens typ, grad och stadium, vilket hjälper till att planera behandlingen.

Takeaways

  • 🩺 Ovarialcancer börjar oftast i ovariernas yttre lager.
  • 📊 Riskfaktorer inkluderar ålder och fetma.
  • ⚠️ Symtom kan vara vaga och likna andra tillstånd.
  • 🔬 Diagnos kräver bedömning av cancerens typ och stadium.
  • 📈 Stadium 1 innebär att cancern är begränsad till ovarierna.
  • 🌍 Stadium 4 innebär spridning till organ utanför bukhinnan.

Timeline

  • 00:00:00 - 00:04:11

    Denna video presenterar information om ovarialcancer, inklusive dess diagnos och effekter på kvinnor. Ovarierna, en del av det reproduktiva systemet, producerar ägg och hormoner. De flesta ovarialcancerformer börjar i den yttre lagret av ovarierna, kallat epitelial ovarialcancer. Riskfaktorer inkluderar ålder, fetma, och hormonbehandling efter menopaus, samt familjehistoria av ovarialcancer. Ovarialcancer kan ofta sakna tidiga symptom, men när de uppstår kan de vara ospecifika, inklusive smärta i bäckenet, gas, oregelbundna menstruationer och en känsla av konstant behov av att urinera. Diagnosen inkluderar att fastställa cancerformens typ, grad och stadium, vilket är avgörande för behandling. Cancerstadierna sträcker sig från Stadium 1 där cancer är begränsad till ovarierna till Stadium 4 där den har spridit sig till andra organ utanför bukhinnan. Kontinuerlig kommunikation med läkare och vårdteam är viktigt för dem som får diagnosen ovarialcancer.

    Symtom kan inkludera buksmärtor, gaser, oregelbundna menstruationer och en känsla av att alltid behöva urinera.

  • Hur klassificeras ovarialcancer?

    Ovarialcancer klassificeras efter typ, grad och stadium, där varje stadium beskriver hur långt cancern har spridit sig.

  • Vad är skillnaden mellan de olika typerna av ovarialcancer?

    Epithelial ovarialcancer börjar i det yttre lagret, germcellstumörer börjar i äggceller, och stromala tumörer börjar i stödjevävnaden.

    you or someone you care about has been
  • 00:00:19
    diagnosed with ovarian cancer this video
  • 00:00:22
    will help you understand the disease and
  • 00:00:24
    how it may affect you
  • 00:00:27
    women have two ovaries they are on
  • 00:00:30
    either side of the uterus
  • 00:00:32
    the ovaries are part of the reproductive
  • 00:00:34
    system that makes and stores eggs
  • 00:00:38
    ovaries also make the hormones estrogen
  • 00:00:41
    and progesterone
  • 00:00:44
    two fallopian tubes are attached to the
  • 00:00:46
    uterus
  • 00:00:48
    after an egg is released from the ovary
  • 00:00:51
    it passes through one of the tubes to
  • 00:00:53
    the uterus
  • 00:00:55
    the ovaries lie close to the peritoneum
  • 00:00:58
    the peritoneum is the inner lining of
  • 00:01:00
    the abdomen that also covers most of the
  • 00:01:03
    organs in your abdomen and pelvis
  • 00:01:08
    most ovarian cancers begin in the outer
  • 00:01:10
    layer of the ovary
  • 00:01:12
    this is called epithelial ovarian cancer
  • 00:01:15
    cancer occurs when cells grow out of
  • 00:01:17
    control
  • 00:01:20
    abnormal cells continue to divide
  • 00:01:23
    and may spread to other parts of the
  • 00:01:25
    body
  • 00:01:28
    germ cell tumors are another type of
  • 00:01:30
    ovarian cancer they start in the cells
  • 00:01:33
    that make eggs
  • 00:01:36
    stromal tumors are a third type they
  • 00:01:38
    begin in the supporting tissue of the
  • 00:01:40
    ovaries where hormones are made
  • 00:01:44
    a number of factors may raise your risk
  • 00:01:47
    of epithelial ovarian cancer
  • 00:01:50
    one risk factor is age half of ovarian
  • 00:01:53
    cancers happen in women aged 63 or older
  • 00:01:58
    obesity is another risk factor
  • 00:02:00
    women with a body mass index of 30 or
  • 00:02:03
    greater have a higher risk
  • 00:02:05
    the risk is also higher for women who
  • 00:02:07
    have their first baby after age 35
  • 00:02:11
    or who have never had a baby
  • 00:02:14
    taking hormone therapy with estrogen
  • 00:02:17
    alone after menopause may raise your
  • 00:02:19
    risk
  • 00:02:21
    and having a family history of ovarian
  • 00:02:23
    and certain other cancers can also
  • 00:02:25
    increase risk
  • 00:02:28
    ovarian cancer may have no early
  • 00:02:30
    symptoms symptoms of ovarian cancer are
  • 00:02:34
    often vague when symptoms do appear they
  • 00:02:36
    may include pain in the pelvis or
  • 00:02:39
    abdomen
  • 00:02:41
    gas or bloating
  • 00:02:43
    irregular menstrual bleeding
  • 00:02:46
    feeling that you always need to urinate
  • 00:02:49
    constipation
  • 00:02:51
    and back pain
  • 00:02:54
    however in most cases these symptoms are
  • 00:02:57
    caused by conditions that are not
  • 00:02:59
    ovarian cancer
  • 00:03:02
    if you have ovarian cancer your doctor
  • 00:03:04
    will need to determine the subtypes of
  • 00:03:06
    ovarian carcinoma the grade and the
  • 00:03:09
    stage or progression of the disease to
  • 00:03:11
    help plan your treatment
  • 00:03:14
    each grade is based on how different the
  • 00:03:16
    cancer cells look compared to normal
  • 00:03:18
    ovary cells under a microscope
  • 00:03:22
    the higher the grade the more aggressive
  • 00:03:24
    the cancer is
  • 00:03:27
    each stage for ovarian cancer is based
  • 00:03:30
    on how far cancer cells have spread from
  • 00:03:32
    where they began
  • 00:03:34
    stage 1 means the cancer is only within
  • 00:03:38
    the ovaries
  • 00:03:40
    at stage 2 the cancer has spread to
  • 00:03:42
    other organs but is still within the
  • 00:03:44
    pelvis
  • 00:03:46
    in stage 3 cancer has spread beyond the
  • 00:03:49
    pelvis to either the peritoneum or the
  • 00:03:51
    lymph nodes behind the peritoneum or
  • 00:03:54
    both
  • 00:03:56
    stage 4 means the cancer has spread to
  • 00:03:58
    organs outside the peritoneum
  • 00:04:03
    as you deal with a diagnosis of ovarian
  • 00:04:06
    cancer continue to talk to your doctor
  • 00:04:08
    and your cancer care team
