Growing push to remove fallopian tubes, lower ovarian cancer risk

Growing push to remove fallopian tubes, lower ovarian cancer risk
SHARE

Rebecca Stone, a gynecologic oncologist at Johns Hopkins, is passionate about spreading awareness about ovarian cancer. She emphasizes that the most common form of ovarian cancer actually originates in the fallopian tube, not the ovary. This type accounts for 70% of cases and 90% of deaths related to ovarian cancer. Unfortunately, there is currently no effective screening method for this type of cancer, leading to late-stage diagnosis and limited treatment options.

One preventive measure that has gained traction in recent years is opportunistic salpingectomy. This procedure involves removing the fallopian tubes as a way to reduce the risk of developing ovarian cancer. Instead of simply tying the tubes, surgeons now opt to completely remove them, a practice recommended by the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists since 2015.

Dr. Greg Marchand, an OB-GYN in Mesa, Arizona, has been advocating for salpingectomy as a preventive measure. He highlights the importance of educating both patients and healthcare providers about this option. However, Dr. Stone has encountered medical professionals who are unaware of this strategy. She recalls a virtual meeting in 2023 where medical coders and administrators were unfamiliar with opportunistic salpingectomy, highlighting the need for more widespread awareness and education within the healthcare community.

The lack of knowledge about this preventive measure underscores the importance of ongoing education and training for healthcare professionals. By increasing awareness about opportunistic salpingectomy, more women may have the opportunity to reduce their risk of developing ovarian cancer. This proactive approach to prevention could ultimately save lives and improve outcomes for individuals at risk of this deadly disease.
