- Description
- Recent studies support the following conclusions: first, oral contraceptive use reduces ovarian cancer risk without significantly increasing breast cancer risk, second, salpingo-oophorectomy leads to a reduction in ovarian cancer, breast cancer, and overall mortality for women who are carriers of BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations, and third, the 'ovarian cancers' associated with BRCA mutations actually include fallopian tube and peritoneal cancer and may have a precursor lesion in the fallopian tube; this observation has prompted the provocative suggestion of removing the fallopian tube to reduce ovarian cancer risk.
