Dr. Lv Aiming
Patients with ovarian cancer generally should not take estrogen supplements. Estrogen is contraindicated in hormone-dependent cancers, such as breast cancer, ovarian cancer, and endometrial cancer. To prevent tumor recurrence and rapid metastasis, patients must strictly control their estrogen intake. Cancer patients should pay attention to engaging in more outdoor activities in daily life. They should also avoid soy products, maintain a light diet, and consume foods that are easy to digest and absorb.
