Radiation

Radiation therapy may be used if there is no or minimal residual cancer left after debulking surgery or if ovarian cancer recurs.
Radiation is not frequently used as a treatment for ovarian cancer.

Side effects may include:

Fatigue
Mild redness/skin sensitivities
Loss of appetite
Hair loss in the pelvic region
Nausea and vomiting
Diarrhea or constipation
Low blood counts

These problems will fade once radiation therapy ends
