New study offers hope to delay menopause for women at high risk of ovarian cancer
NCT ID NCT05287451
Summary
This study is testing a new approach to prevent ovarian cancer in women with specific genetic mutations that put them at high risk. Currently, the standard prevention is to remove both fallopian tubes and ovaries at a relatively young age, which causes immediate menopause. This study is seeing if removing just the tubes first and delaying ovary removal until later is just as safe at preventing cancer, allowing women to avoid early menopause.
