NCT ID NCT06972719

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This pilot study tests whether an educational video can help women with BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutations make more informed decisions about hormone replacement therapy after having their ovaries and fallopian tubes removed to lower cancer risk. Fifty premenopausal women scheduled for this preventive surgery will either receive standard counseling or standard counseling plus the video. Researchers will measure how conflicted patients feel about their decision and how satisfied they are with the counseling.
