Removing fallopian tubes, a procedure known as opportunistic salpingectomy, may help reduce the risk of developing ovarian cancer, according to a consensus statement from the Ovarian Cancer Research ...

The removal of the fallopian tube while preserving the ovary, as demonstrated by gynecological surgeon Ingo Runnebaum using a model (GPI Anatomicals, USA), is a preventive measure against ovarian ...

A new large study from Canada now offers powerful hope. Researchers report that a simple prevention strategy, added to routine gynecological surgery, can reduce the risk of the most common and deadly ...

Fallopian tube cancer starts in the fallopian tubes, which connect a woman's ovaries to their uterus. Each month, an ovary releases one egg into the fallopian tube. The egg either gets fertilized by ...

Salpingectomy (sal-pin-JEK-tuh-me) is the surgical removal of one or both fallopian tubes. After this procedure, getting pregnant is usually more difficult. There are several reasons to get a ...

Adding opportunistic bilateral salpingectomy (OBS) to hysterectomies reduced serous ovarian cancer risk by nearly 80%. An analysis of ovarian cancers after OBS showed that 23% were high-grade serous ...

The algorithm, called "REAL-FAST" (RealSeqS-based algorithm for fallopian tube aneuploidy pattern in STIC), identified five distinct groups of precancerous lesions in fallopian tubes, two of which ...

A new study creates a detailed 'atlas' of the various cell types and their gene activities within the highly specialized fallopian tube, paving the way for new research into infertility and other ...

Overall, these findings suggest that opportunistic fallopian tube removal during appropriate abdominal surgeries could not only lower population-level ovarian cancer risks and prevent ovarian cancer ...

The fallopian tubes connect the ovaries and the uterus. Fallopian tube cancer occurs when cells in a tube multiply out of control and form a tumor. As the tumor grows, it presses on the tube, ...
