Diagnosis and treatment planning
Pathology, surgery records and pelvic or abdominal imaging help clarify the current disease and previous treatment.
CANCER CARE PATHWAY
Ovarian cancer: treatment and rehabilitation
Following ovarian cancer surgery and systemic treatment, patients may need support for reduced stamina, appetite and weight changes, abdominal discomfort and limits in daily activity. Our pathway links disease review with recovery needs over time.
CARE JOURNEY
Priorities change across the treatment journey
The questions that matter after diagnosis, during treatment and during recovery are not the same.
During surgery and systemic treatment
Reduced stamina, eating difficulties, abdominal symptoms, weight change and sleep problems can interact and should be assessed together.
Recovery after treatment
Activity and daily function can gradually rebuild while nutrition, symptoms and weight continue to be monitored.

PATIENT QUESTIONS
Common questions
What should I do about poor appetite and weight loss after ovarian cancer treatment?
These concerns should be reviewed with treatment effects, digestive symptoms, nutritional intake and disease status. Early nutritional assessment may be useful.
When can activity be increased after surgery?
Activity should increase gradually according to wound recovery, physical capacity and clinical assessment rather than a fixed number of days.
