There are many chemotherapeutic drugs for ovarian cancer, and most treatments involve simultaneous use of multiple drugs. Chemotherapy plays an important role in treating advanced ovarian cancer.

Targeted therapy drugs that inhibit angiogenesis, when applied on patients with recurrent ovarian cancer, can achieve a response rate of 80% and reduce the risk of exacerbation by 52%. The drugs also significantly relieve symptoms attributable to ascites including abdominal distension, abdominal pain, difficulty breathing, asthma and poor mobility, so as to improve their quality of life.
