Fallopian tube removal to help prevent ovarian cancer? Why experts are suggesting it
Fox News
The Ovarian Cancer Research Alliance (OCRA), a nonprofit group in New York, believes that the removal of fallopian tubes may help reduce the risk of developing ovarian cancer.
"Seventy percent of the most common and lethal ovarian cancer begins in the fallopian tubes," according to an OCRA report. "We need to be more thoughtful about prevention." Dr. Blank said ovarian cancer is typically diagnosed when it is already metastatic. Ovarian cancer is the fifth leading cause of cancer death in women in the United States.
