To prevent ovarian cancers, fallopian tube removal is on the rise | STAT

To prevent ovarian cancers, fallopian tube removal is on the rise There’s long been confusion between ‘tube-tying’ and salpingectomy. Now, oncologists are trying to dispel it June 16, 2025 To Rebecca Stone, the single most important fact about ovarian cancer is that it’s usually a misnomer. The most common kind — responsible for 70% of cases and 90% of deaths — often has its silent beginnings not in the ovary, but in the fallopian tube. This isn’t just an interesting factoid; as a gynecologic oncologist at Johns Hopkins, Stone sees it as a reason to evangelize. There’s no way to......

I had one simple surgery to lower my risk of the deadliest cancer for women. Here’s why you probably don’t know about it—but should | Fortune Well

I had one simple surgery to lower my risk of the deadliest cancer for women. Here’s why you probably don’t know about it—but should June 16, 2025 I woke up from surgery groggy, with three minuscule incisions in my abdomen and huge peace of mind. I’d just had my fallopian tubes laparoscopically removed, as it’s the best—and possibly only—defense against ovarian cancer, which, though rare, is the most lethal gynecological cancer there is.

New collaborative effort aims to cure ALK-positive lung cancer | News Medical

New collaborative effort aims to cure ALK-positive lung cancer December 6, 2024 Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death worldwide, with various subtypes affecting millions of people each year.

Removing fallopian tubes can prevent ovarian cancers without causing menopause. But who’s eligible? | WBUR

But who's eligible? The American Cancer Society estimates that more than 19,000 women will be diagnosed with ovarian cancer this year. More than 13,000 of them will die from the disease, which is difficult to diagnose and to treat. That's why the Ovarian Cancer Research Alliance recommended earlier this year that women (particularly those done having children) consider adding surgery to remove their fallopian tubes to pelvic surgeries like hysterectomies or tubal ligations since most ovarian cancers start in the tubes. Among those performing the surgery is Dr. Michael Worley,......

More physicians are calling for fallopian tube removal to prevent ovarian cancer | STAT

More physicians are calling for fallopian tube removal to prevent ovarian cancer By Zeina Mohammed — Boston GlobeFeb. 23, 2023 Ovarian cancer has long been one of the deadliest cancers to strike women. No tests are available to detect it early, so most patients are diagnosed in later stages, when the cancer is more likely to have spread. Fewer than half of women survive 5 years past their diagnosis, and 80 percent have no known risk factors. Now, a growing chorus of physicians is recommending a procedure that can significantly reduce the chances of developing ovarian cancer. The procedure is......

Ovarian cancer has long been one of the deadliest cancers to strike women.

Fewer than half of women survive 5 years past their diagnosis, and 80 percent have no known risk factors. Now, a growing chorus of physicians is recommending a procedure that can significantly reduce the chances of developing ovarian cancer. The procedure is called a salpingectomy — or removal of the fallopian tubes, where the majority of ovarian cancer cases begin. The operation,......

Fallopian tube removal advised for more women to prevent ovarian cancer | Washington Post

In some cases, those who are done with childbearing may be advised to have tubes removed if they are having another gynecological surgery anyway By Teddy Amenabar, Amy Goldstein and Lindsey Bever To prevent more cases of ovarian cancer, a major research and advocacy group is suggesting an aggressive prevention strategy: remove a woman’s fallopian tubes if she is undergoing pelvic surgery for another reason. The practice would apply to women, trans men or nonbinary people at average risk who don’t plan to have any or additional children. The fallopian tubes are hollow structures that allow eggs to travel from......
