Radiation Therapy
Radiation therapy uses high-energy X-rays or other types of radiation to kill cancer cells or shrink the tumor. Although radiation therapy is rarely used in the treatment of ovarian cancer, it sometimes is used to kill any remaining cancer cells in the pelvic area after other treatment. A woman may have it if she has already undergone treatment but the cancer has come back. In most such cases, the main goal of radiation therapy is to control symptoms, not to treat the cancer.
