Opportunistic salpingectomy for ovarian cancer prevention
Recently accumulated evidence has strongly indicated that the fallopian tube is the site of origin for the majority of high-grade serous ovarian or peritoneal carcinomas. As a result, recommendations have been made to change surgical practice in women at general population risk for ovarian cancer and perform bilateral salpingectomy at the time of hysterectomy without oophorectomy and in lieu of...

The high-grade serous cancer (HGSC) represents 75% of all ovarian cancers and accounts for the majority of deaths. Contemporary thought suggests that precursor lesions of HGSC originate...
متن کاملSalpingectomy as a means to reduce ovarian cancer risk.
Bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy (BSO) has become the standard-of-care for risk reduction in women at hereditary risk of ovarian cancer. Although this procedure significantly decreases both the incidence of and mortality from ovarian cancer, it affects quality of life, and the premature cessation of ovarian function may have long-term health hazards. Recent advances in our understanding of the m...

has been increasing evidence over the past decade that the majority of ovarian cancers arise in the fallopian tube and not primarily in the ovary [1-3]. In 2010 the British Columbia Ovarian Cancer Research Group (OVCARE) launched an educational campaign about the potential benefit of " opportunistic salpingectomy " done concurrently with hysterectomy for benign gynecologic conditions, or instea...
