Case Study on Ovarian Cancer
Patient’s Data:
Name: Kulsoom Kausar Gender: Female Age : 55 yrs Ward: Female Surgical Ward
Case Summary:
Ovarian Cancer :
Ovarian cancer is a growth of cells that forms in the ovaries. The cells multiply quickly and can invade
and destroy healthy body tissue.
Medical History:
A history of regular menstrual cycles, three full-term pregnancies, and a tubal ligation procedure
after her last childbirth. She had no significant medical illnesses or surgeries apart from the tubal
ligation.
Clinical Assessment :
The gynecologist performed a pelvic examination, revealing an enlarged ovary with a palpable
mass. An ultrasound confirmed the presence of a complex ovarian mass. Laboratory tests,
including CA-125 (a tumor marker associated with ovarian cancer), were ordered, and elevated
CA-125 levels were noted.
Diagnostic procedures :
They were initiated, including a transvaginal ultrasound, CT scan, and MRI to determine the
extent of the mass and its involvement with surrounding structures. A biopsy was performed via
laparoscopy, confirming the presence of ovarian cancer, specifically high-grade serous
carcinoma
Staging :
The patient was then staged using the FIGO (International Federation of Gynecology and
Obstetrics) system, which revealed stage III ovarian cancer. The cancer had spread beyond the
ovaries, involving the pelvic organs and lymph nodes.
Therapeutic Management:
Nursing Management :
Nurses play a crucial role in holistic patient care, addressing physical, emotional, and
psychosocial needs throughout the ovarian cancer journey. Regular communication with the
healthcare team and ongoing patient education are essential components of effective nursing
management.
o Collaborate with the nutritionist to ensure the patient receives appropriate nutrition.
o Prioritize comfort and quality of life in patients with advanced ovarian cancer.
o Collaborate with palliative care specialists for symptom management.
