Overview
Ovarian cancer often goes undetected until it has spread within the pelvis and abdomen. At this late stage, ovarian cancer is more difficult to treat and is frequently fatal. Early-stage ovarian cancer, in which the disease is confined to the ovary, is more likely to be treated successfully.

When the diagnosis is ovarian cancer, doctors often recommend aggressive measures, including two or more different types of treatments. The options include surgery, chemotherapy, hormone therapy, targeted therapy and radiation therapy. Each can have life-threatening complications.
Insys Therapeutic Inc.’s Liposomal Encapsulated Paclitaxel, a drug which contains Dronabinol, may soon be part of the package of options. In drug trials it has reportedly been effective in the treatment of the nausea and vomiting associated with cancer chemotherapy as well as anorexia associated with weight loss in patients with AIDS.
