Ovarian cancer has the highest mortality among the three major gynecological malignancies. Peritoneal metastasis, intestinal obstruction and then death is the main outcome pattern of advanced ovarian cancer. Traditional Chinese medicine maintenance treatment of advanced ovarian cancer is effective, but the theoretical basis needs to be further improved. Under the guidance of the membranous Sanjiao theory and combined with clinical experience, this paper traces the origin, focuses the location of membranous Sanjiao of ovarian cancer peritoneal metastasis and the role of membranous Sanjiao dysfunction in the occurrence and metastasis of ovarian cancer. Besides, the paper puts forward that the main strategies for the maintenance treatment of traditional Chinese medicine on ovarian cancer are ordering the Qi movement of Sanjiao, regulating and harmonizing Qi and blood, and clearing away the latent toxin. From the perspective of membranous Sanjiao theory, the theory enriches the traditional Chinese medicine theory of ovarian cancer and provides new ideas for the treatment of ovarian cancer.
