Arrenoblastoma del ovario - Treatment

Nombres alternativos

Tumor estromático; Tumor estromático gonadal; Androblastoma; Tumor de los cordones sexuales

Tratamiento:

El tratamiento principal es la cirugía y, en caso de que el cáncer se haya diseminado, se debe considerar la radioterapia y la quimioterapia.

Grupos de apoyo:

El estrés causado por la enfermedad se puede aliviar con la vinculación a un grupo de apoyo en donde los miembros comparten experiencias y problemas en común. Ver: grupos de apoyo para el cáncer.

Expectativas (pronóstico):

El pronóstico de esta enfermedad depende de si se ha diseminado y de si el tumor se puede extirpar completamente por medio de cirugía. La tasa de supervivencia total a 5 años es aproximadamente del 70 al 90%.

El arrenoblastoma tiene baja posibilidad de diseminación y, si el tumor se detecta temprano, la tasa de curación puede ser bastante buena.

Complicaciones:

Complicaciones de la cirugía
Masculinización (virilización)
Diseminación del tumor si no se extirpa completamente

Situaciones que requieren asistencia médica:

Consulte con el médico si usted es una mujer que experimenta síntomas masculinos o si siente un tumor cerca de los ovarios.
