Here are answers to common questions about the recommendations
, what’s involved with fallopian tube surgery called an opportunistic salpingectomy and whether more people should consider it.The Ovarian Cancer Research Alliance, a leading cancer research group, recently posted a consensus statement encouraging patients to consider preventive fallopian tube removal if they are undergoing pelvic surgery for another noncancerous condition including hysterectomy, tubal ligations, cysts and endometriosis.
“We also knew it wouldn’t be a popular message,” Moran said, explaining the concept that early detection saved lives was ingrained in the community. “This study very clearly shows that it doesn’t.” “Removing the fallopian tubes is a simple procedure. And doesn’t impact your hormonal function,” Pothuri said. “It’s almost a no-brainer to take it out. Especially if you’re undergoing surgery for a hysterectomy.”Karen H. Lu, chair of the department of gynecologic oncology and reproductive medicine at the University of Texas’s MD Anderson Cancer Center, said that the statement from OCRA “amplifies a message that has been kind of underreported.
Stephanie V. Blank, president of the Society of Gynecologic Oncology, said that OCRA asked the society whether it would endorse the statement, and the SGO board did so in October. “We are very happy” that OCRA drew attention to the issue, said Blank, who is also the director of gynecologic oncology at Mount Sinai Health System in New York.
The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists said in 2015 and reaffirmed in 2020 that removal of fallopian tubes, while women are having other types of gynecologic surgery could be “an opportunity to decrease the risk of ovarian cancer.” ACOG also noted that while the procedure reduces risk, it doesn’t eliminate risk entirely.Article contentIt’s unclear exactly how many women, trans or nonbinary patients would be candidates for fallopian tube removal.
