All women who have finished having children should consider having their fallopian tubes removed in order to lower their risk of developing ovarian cancer, a leading research organization has advised.
The results of that study were “very hard to accept,” Audra Moran, OCRA president and CEO, says in an interview.
And it's actually not new, she says. Several years ago, the Society of Gynecologic Oncology said fallopian tube removal may be “an appropriate and feasible” strategy for ovarian cancer risk reduction.Importantly, the recommendation is for women who are already scheduled for another pelvic surgery for a benign condition, such as hysterectomy for fibroids. There is no current recommendation to have fallopian tubes removed as a standalone procedure.
As part of their new messaging campaign, the Ovarian Cancer Research Alliance is also encouraging women to know their personal risk for ovarian cancer. The group has launched a pilot program offering free at-home genetic testing kits to people with a personal or family history of breast, ovarian, uterine, or colorectal cancer.
