Most ovarian cancers begin in the fallopian tubes—but research shows that salpingectomy, a procedure that removes the fallopian tubes, can reduce a person's risk of ovarian cancer by as much as 78%.

To help ob-gyns provide preventive care to their patients, we now recommend that ob-gyns discuss salpingectomy with patients who are undergoing surgeries, such as hysterectomy or tubal sterilization. Talk with your ob-gyn if you have questions about reducing your risk of ovarian cancer.
