A new study found that among BRCA1/2 carriers, the presence of tubal intraepithelial carcinoma during risk-reducing salpingo-oophorectomy (i.e., preventive surgery to remove the ovaries and fallopian tubes) predicts the risk of later peritoneal cancer. These findings demonstrate:the importance of timely risk-reducing removal of the ovaries and fallopian tubesthat it is VERY important to have a …
