New surgery may prevent ovarian cancer without removing ovaries
NCT ID NCT01608074
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a surgery called radical fimbriectomy in women with BRCA mutations who are at high risk for pelvic cancer but want to keep their ovaries. The procedure removes the fallopian tubes, where many of these cancers start, while leaving the ovaries to produce natural hormones. The goal is to prevent cancer while avoiding early menopause. The study includes 123 women aged 35 and older who have completed childbearing.
