Preventing ovarian cancer by salpingectomy.
An error was made in the text of the paper (p. 139, col. 1, under the subheading The Origins of High-Grade Ovarian Carcinoma). The sentence Further studies have confirmed that in situ serous tubal carcinomas are present in between 60% and 100% of preventive oophorectomy specimens from women with BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutations, but also that such disease is seen in the excised fallopian tubes of 30%–6...
متن کاملOpportunistic 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...
متن کاملOvarian cancer risk reduction through opportunistic salpingectomy
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...
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...
متن کاملSalpingectomy as a potential ovarian cancer risk-reducing procedure.
Accumulated evidence over the past 10 years has strongly indicated that the fallopian tube is the site of origin for many high-grade serous carcinomas (1), which represent 50% to 60% of all epithelial ovarian cancers. This multi-origin model of ovarian cancer development has important implications for prevention of ovarian cancer: if some or all high-grade serous tumors develop in the fallopian...
