New Two-Step surgery could spare High-Risk women from early menopause

NCT ID NCT06726330

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

Summary

This study tests a new two-step preventive surgery for women with gene mutations (like BRCA1) that raise their risk of ovarian cancer. Instead of removing both ovaries and fallopian tubes at once, the first step removes only the fimbria (the end of the fallopian tube), and the ovaries are removed later, around menopause. The goal is to reduce cancer risk while delaying menopause and its side effects. About 1,100 women in France will choose either this new approach or the standard surgery, and they will be followed until age 70.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

Fimbriectomy followed by delayed oophorectomy (F-DO) surgical procedure

What this could lead to

If successful, this could offer a less drastic preventive option for women at high genetic risk of ovarian cancer, preserving ovarian function longer and delaying menopause.

What could go wrong

This is a non-randomized study, so results may be less definitive. The procedure is still being tested for effectiveness, and there is a small risk that cancer could still develop before the delayed ovary removal.
