About Patient's Treatment and Recovery

A. Venkata Krishnamma's treatment journey highlights the importance of accurate diagnosis and advanced cancer care. She was initially treated for tuberculosis, but further evaluation revealed the correct diagnosis of advanced stage three ovarian cancer.

The dedication, expertise and use of advanced treatment techniques played a vital role in her recovery. Today, she is recovering well and remains thankful for the expert care that gave her renewed hope and strength.

Patient Words

"When I learned that I had advanced ovarian cancer after being treated for something else, I felt completely overwhelmed. The chemotherapy helped reduce the tumors, but I was most anxious about the surgery. Dr Ramesh Babu and the team at Medicover Hospitals, Cancer Institute Nellore handled everything with great skill and care during the long operation. Knowing that such advanced treatment was available gave me confidence. I am recovering well and feel deeply grateful for the compassion, expertise and hope the entire team gave me."

What Is Advanced Stage Three Ovarian Cancer?

Ovarian cancer develops when abnormal cells grow in the ovaries, fallopian tubes, or the lining of the abdomen. In stage three ovarian cancer, the disease has spread beyond the pelvis to the abdominal area or nearby lymph nodes. Because early symptoms are often unclear, diagnosis may be delayed. Common symptoms include:

Abdominal bloating or swelling.
Feeling full quickly while eating.
Pelvic or lower abdominal pain.
Changes in bowel or bladder habits, such as constipation or frequent urination.
Ongoing fatigue or back pain.

Treatment at this stage usually combines surgery to remove as much of the cancer as possible with chemotherapy to destroy remaining cancer cells.

What Treatment Did We Provide to A. Venkata Krishnamma at Medicover Hospitals, Cancer Institute Nellore?

At Medicover Hospitals, Cancer Institute Nellore, A. Venkata Krishnamma received a multidisciplinary cancer treatment approach under the care of Dr M Ramesh Babu. Her treatment began with chemotherapy to shrink the tumors and improve surgical outcomes. This was followed by an advanced surgical procedure known as Optimal Interval Cyto Reduction combined with Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy (HIPEC), performed under general anesthesia.

The key elements of her treatment included:

A complex seven-hour surgery to remove as much visible tumor as possible.
HIPEC, where heated chemotherapy was delivered directly into the abdominal cavity after tumor removal to target remaining cancer cells.
This combined approach was chosen to improve long-term outcomes by reducing the risk of residual disease within the abdomen.
