Summary

It is now felt that the majority of ovarian cancers originate in the fallopian tubes. Opportunistic salpingectomy has been found to decrease ovarian cancer risk by approximately 65%, with additional removal of the ovaries decreasing risk up to 98%. Using data collected under IRB #21841 and a population based statistics model we found that performing opportunistic salpingectomy during non-gynecologic abdominal surgery could decrease the incidence of ovarian cancer by 28-38%.
