Consuming milk, lean meat, and similar foods is generally beneficial for ovarian cancer patients. Diet plays a particularly important role during treatment, as proper nutrition is fundamental to recovery and preparing for subsequent therapies. Patients are generally advised to consume high-protein foods such as milk, soy products, and lean meat. For patients who have recently undergone surgery, it is essential to support physical recovery and wound healing; however, their diet should not include excessive greasy foods, as these can impair digestive function. Most cases of ovarian cancer are detected during gynecological examinations; therefore, regular gynecological check-ups are essential.
