New study tests two-step surgery to delay menopause while cutting ovarian cancer risk

This study looks at three approaches to prevent ovarian cancer in women with BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene mutations: regular screening, removing both fallopian tubes and ovaries at once, or removing only the fallopian tubes first and the ovaries later. The two-step surgery aims to delay menopause and its side effects. About 80 premenopausal women aged 30-47 are taking part to see how many complete the delayed ovary removal and whether the fallopian tube removal alone lowers cancer risk.
