Can a simple tube removal during hysterectomy slash ovarian cancer risk?
NCT ID NCT03045965
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether removing the fallopian tubes at the same time as a hysterectomy (for non-cancer reasons) can lower the chance of getting ovarian cancer later. About 4,400 women under 55 will be randomly assigned to have their tubes removed or not. Researchers will track complications, menopause symptoms, and cancer rates over time to see if the extra step is safe and effective.
