Headline: Unusual weapon touted in ovarian cancer fight
Dripping chemotherapy drugs directly into the abdomen is proving to be more effective in treating ovarian cancer than pumping the drugs through the veins. The method exposes the tumor to a higher concentration of the medicine. This method has more volatile side effects during and immediately following treatment including infections and stomach pain.
