Simple video may boost ovarian cancer prevention during other surgeries
NCT ID NCT06312124
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether an educational video can increase women's interest in having their fallopian tubes removed during non-gynecologic surgery to prevent ovarian cancer. Participants watch a video and complete questionnaires before and after. The study involves 266 women aged 45 or older at average risk for ovarian cancer.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Educational video and salpingectomy (fallopian tube removal)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this approach could help prevent ovarian cancer by making fallopian tube removal a routine option during other surgeries.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early study measuring interest, not cancer outcomes. It is small (266 participants) and does not yet prove that the procedure reduces cancer risk in this setting.

Inclusion Criteria: Part I * Age ≥45 years * Scheduled visit with a nongynecologic surgeon * Female or assigned female at birth Part II * Age ≥45 years * At least one in situ fallopian tube * No desire or plan to have children in the future * Average risk of developing ovarian cancer ° Note: Average risk patients are defined as patients with no known genetic risk factor for developing ovarian cancer. Patients who, after obtaining family history, are suspected to have a hereditary ovarian cancer syndrome but have not yet been tested, will be referred for genetic evaluation. * Planned nongynecologic, intraabdominal, or pelvic surgery * Deemed to be a suitable candidate by gynecologic surgeon and primary nongynecologic surgeon (for example, on the basis of surgical history and current malignancy status) * Approved and signed informed consent Exclusion Criteria: Part I * Not fluent in English or Spanish ° If there is a non-english or non-spanish speaking participant who is a strong candidate and meets all other criteria for Part 2, they are able to go directly onto Part 2 without completing Part 1. (Please see additional details in section 4.1 and 7.0.) * Known inherited ovarian cancer susceptibility Part II * Personal history of a gynecologic malignancy * Carrier of a hereditary breast or ovarian cancer variant (e.g., BRCA1, BRCA2, BRIP1, PALB2, RAD51C, RAD51D, MLH1, MSH2, MSH6, PMS2) * Suspicious ovarian, fallopian tube, or uterine lesion on preoperative imaging * Previous bilateral salpingectomy or bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy * Presence of ESSURE, or other tubal-implanted birth control at the time of surgery * Current pregnancy * Emergent procedure or emergency procedure that has to be completed within 24 hours where clinical consent occurs in the inpatient setting or where the patient's immediate well-being is in danger or condition may be life threatening * Primary surgeon anticipates that OS will add significant time (\>30-40min) to the planned procedure. * Inability to access the pelvis (ex., patient prone/lateral position) during the planned procedure. * Known history of pelvic fibrosis or significant adhesions. * Procedures with palliative intent only
