First seen Jan 07, 2026 · Last updated Jun 14, 2026 · Updated 25 times
Summary
This study looks at two types of surgery to prevent ovarian cancer in women aged 30-50 who have gene mutations that raise their risk. One surgery removes both the fallopian tubes and ovaries, while the other removes only the tubes first and delays removing the ovaries. The goal is to see which approach better lowers cancer risk while also protecting sexual function and emotional well-being.
