Cover Story: Epithelial ovarian cancer is a heterogeneous group of malignancies. While BRCA variants elevate the risk of ovarian cancer, most cases occur in individuals without any known genetic variants, necessitating prevention strategies for people without known high-risk genetic variants. Opportunistic salpingectomy, removing fallopian tubes during planned pelvic surgery, is an emerging primary prevention strategy. Evidence of effectiveness has emerged in patients who underwent opportunistic salpingectomy for cancer prevention. This, coupled with an increased understanding of precursor lesions, has turned attention towards broadening opportunities for salpingectomy, as well as offering fallopian tube removal to people at higher-than-average lifetime risk for ovarian cancer despite not having a known genetic mutation that increases their risk. View this paper
