Salpingectomy ovarian cancer

STUDY OBJECTIVE: To compare the transvaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (vNOTES) approach with conventional laparoscopy (CL) in opportunistic bilateral salpingectomy (BS) alone for permanent female sterilization as an opportunistic cancer prevention strategy. DESIGN: Prospective cohort study. SETTING: Two-centered tertiary hospitals. PATIENTS: Ninety-six women with a nonprolapsed uterus seeking definitive surgical permanent contraception...

BACKGROUND: To prevent ovarian cancer, several international societies have issued guidelines which recommend to discuss opportunistic salpingectomy with women undergoing pelvic surgery after completion of childbearing. The opportunistic salpingectomy refers to the additional removal of Fallopian tubes during pelvic surgery for another indication to reduce the risk of developing ovarian cancer. These recommendations emphasize the importance of counselling on benefits and risks of opportunistic salpingectomy but offer no guidance on their implementation in daily practice...

PURPOSE: Eighty percent of the approximately 500,000 hysterectomies performed annually in the US are for benign indications. There is lack of consensus regarding concurrent removal of fallopian tubes and/or ovaries. Ovarian cancer risk reduction is the principal benefit but the adverse consequences of ovarian removal can include vasomotor disturbance, vaginal dryness, cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis, and cognitive decline. Emerging evidence on the role of fallopian tubes in ovarian carcinogenesis and the consequences of oophorectomy have led the American College of Obstetricians-Gynecologists (ACOG) to recommend bilateral salpingectomy with ovarian conservation during benign hysterectomy for women at population risk for ovarian cancer...

OBJECTIVE: To describe the clinical characteristics of transmasculine individuals who underwent hysterectomy and characterize surgical pathology findings. METHODS: Under an institutional review board-approved protocol, transmasculine individuals who were undergoing hysterectomy and bilateral salpingectomy or bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy were retrospectively identified from a single institution. Past medical, surgical, obstetric, and gynecologic history were collected, including prior testosterone use, cervical cancer screening status, and preoperative pelvic imaging...

OBJECTIVE: Examine the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) following risk reducing bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy (RRBSO) among women with BRCA mutations. METHODS: In this retrospective population-based study in British Columbia, Canada, between 1996 and 2017, we compared the risk of CVD among women with known BRCA mutations who underwent RRBSO before the age of 50 (n = 360) with two groups of age-matched women without known BRCA mutations: 1) women who underwent bilateral oophorectomy (BO) for benign conditions (n = 3600); and, 2) women with intact ovaries who had hysterectomy or salpingectomy (n = 3600)...

INTRODUCTION: Opportunistic bilateral salpingectomy has been proposed as an ovarian cancer risk-reducing strategy namely as a means of tubal sterilization. We aimed to assess what were the procedures for interval and peripartum sterilization carried out nationwide, related motivational aspects and influential demographic or professional factors. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Cross-sectional study based on an original survey sent to Obstetrics and Gynecology specialists and residents from across the country in 2019...

BACKGROUND: Bilateral salpingectomy has been proposed to reduce the risk of ovarian cancer, but it is not clear whether the surgery affects ovarian reserve. This study compares the impact of laparoscopic hysterectomy for benign disease with or without prophylactic bilateral salpingectomy on ovarian reserve. METHODS: Records were reviewed for 373 premenopausal women who underwent laparoscopic hysterectomy with ovarian reserve for benign uterine diseases. The serum anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH), follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), estradiol (E2), and three-dimensional antral follicle count (AFC) were assessed before surgery and 3 and 9 months postoperatively to evaluate ovarian reserve...

BACKGROUND: Opportunistic salpingectomy is now recommended at the time of routine gynecologic surgery to reduce the risk of future ovarian cancer, and performance of opportunistic salpingectomy has increased markedly at the time of benign hysterectomy. Salpingectomy has also been suggested to be feasible at the time of cesarean delivery in women desiring sterilization; however, uptake has not been previously studied on a national level. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to examine recent population trends in the utilization and characteristics of salpingectomy at the time of cesarean delivery in the United States...

The proposed different origins and pathways to of the dualistic model of Epithelial Ovarian Cancer (EOC) may affect and alter the potential risk reduction related to hysterectomy, salpingectomy and tubal ligation. The aim of this study was to analyze associations between hysterectomy, salpingectomy or tubal ligation and risk reduction of EOC Type I and II. In this nationwide register-based case-control study, women diagnosed with EOC, Fallopian tube or primary peritoneal cancer between 2008 and 2014 were included...

Importance: Most women with a BRCA1/2 pathogenic variant undergo premature menopause with potential short- and long-term morbidity due to the current method of ovarian carcinoma prevention: risk-reducing salpingo-oophorectomy (RRSO). Because the fallopian tubes play a key role in ovarian cancer pathogenesis, salpingectomy with delayed oophorectomy may be a novel risk-reducing strategy with benefits of delaying menopause. Objective: To compare menopause-related quality of life after risk-reducing salpingectomy (RRS) with delayed oophorectomy with RRSO in carriers of the BRCA1/2 pathogenic variant...

In the field of gynecology, the approval of the PARP inhibitors (PARPi) has been changing the treatment of ovarian cancer patients. The BRCA genetic test and the HRD test are being used as a companion diagnosis before starting PARPi treatment. BRACAnalysis CDx® and Myriad myChoice® HRD test are widely used as a BRCA genetic test and HRD test, respectively. In addition, FoundationOne® CDx is sometimes used as a tumor BRCA test and HRD test. In clinical practice, gynecologists treating ovarian cancer are faced with making decisions such as whether to recommend the g BRCA test to all ovarian cancer patients, whether to perform the g BRCA test first or HRD test first, and so on...

Objective: To investigate the occurrence and influencing factors of perioperative complications after robotic gynecologic surgery. Methods: The clinical data and occurrence of perioperative complications in 1 000 cases robotic surgery completed in the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University were retrospectively analyzed. Results: (1) Clinical data: the average age of the patients was (50.2±10.4) years old, and the average body mass index (BMI) was (24.4±3.6) kg/m2 . Among 1 000 cases, 811 cases of them were malignant tumors, including 405 cases of cervical cancer, 279 cases of endometrial carcinoma, 112 cases of epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC), 15 cases of vulvar cancer; 189 cases of them were benign diseases, including 43 cases of uterine prolapse, 57 cases hysterectomy of uterine leiomyoma and adenomyosis of the uterus ≥12 weeks, 84 cases myomectomy of uterine leiomyoma, and 5 cases of fallopian tubal ligation requiring anastomosis...

The 12-year-old patient was admitted to the hospital on September 19, 2019 for "vaginal bleeding for 2 + months and pelvic mass to be diagnosed". The patient and her family explicitly denied any previous history of diethylstilbestrol exposure. After admission, relevant examinations were conducted and hysteroscopic exploration was performed under general anesthesia. During the procedure, cervical neoplasms were extracted and pathology results indicated cervical cancer. Then, extensive transabdominal hysterectomy+bilateral salpingectomy+bilateral ovarian transposition+pelvic lymph node dissection+para-aortic lymph node sampling were performed...

BACKGROUND: Opportunistic salpingectomy at the time of hysterectomy or as an alternative to bilateral tubal ligation may reduce the incidence of ovarian cancer, because it has been demonstrated that most serous ovarian cancers begin in the fallopian tubes. However, salpingectomy at the time of sterilization is not always financially covered by third-party payers, and this represents a barrier to adoption. Routine salpingectomy has become more common but is not always practiced at the time of hysterectomy...

Nowotwory złośliwe jajnika charakteryzują się późną wykrywalnością, co jest głównym czynnikiem determinującym ich złe rokowanie. Prawie 70% z nich rozpoznawanych jest w III i IV stadium zaawansowania klinicznego. Obecnie brakuje skutecznych metod wczesnego wykrywania raka jajnika. Jednym ze sposobów obniżenia ryzyka zachorowania jest stosowanie obustronnego usunięcia jajowodów i jajników, a coraz częściej proponuje się, że skutecznym postępowaniem może być profilaktyczna salpingektomia...

Summary: Menopause is a relative hyperandrogenic state but the development of hirsutism or virilizing features should not be regarded as normal. We report the case of a 62-year-old woman with a 9-month history of progressive frontotemporal hair loss and hirsutism, particularly on her back, arms and forearms. Blood tests showed increased total testosterone of 5.20 nmol/L that remained elevated after an overnight dexamethasone suppression test. Free Androgen Index was 13.1 and DHEAS was repeatedly normal...

BACKGROUND: Acceptance of the role of the fallopian tube in 'ovarian' carcinogenesis and the detrimental sequelae of surgical menopause in premenopausal women following risk-reducing salpingo-oophorectomy (RRSO) has resulted in risk-reducing early-salpingectomy with delayed oophorectomy (RRESDO) being proposed as an attractive alternative risk-reducing strategy in women who decline/delay oophorectomy. We present the results of a qualitative study evaluating the decision-making process among BRCA carriers considering prophylactic surgeries (RRSO/RRESDO) as part of the multicentre PROTECTOR trial (ISRCTN:25173360)...

There has been a rapid advance in germline multigene panel testing by next-generation sequencing, and it is being widely used in clinical settings. A 56-year-old woman suspected of having Lynch syndrome was identified as a BRCA2 pathogenic variant carrier by multigene panel testing. The patient was diagnosed with endometrial cancer at the age of 39 years, and total laparoscopic hysterectomy and bilateral salpingectomy were performed at the age of 49 years; however, bilateral oophorectomy was not performed at that time...

AIM: Salpingectomy is associated with a lower risk for ovarian cancer, suggesting that the fallopian tubes constitute the origin of the disease. It is unclear whether the observed effect is mediated by pelvic inflammatory disease (PID); a major indication for salpingectomy and implicated in the aetiology of ovarian cancer. METHODS: In this population-based cohort study, we used nationwide registry-based data on women exposed for PID with and without subsequent salpingectomy (n = 97,912) compared with the unexposed population (n = 5,429,174) between 1973 and 2010...

OBJECTIVE: Ovarian cancer (OvCa) is the deadliest gynaecologic malignancy. Knowing that OvCa, as a disease, has different origins has allowed us to relate them to the mechanisms of action of different contraceptive methods with the aim of evaluating the possibility of their use in reducing risk. STUDY DESIGN: This commentary review article will instead focus on the recent findings on the role of contraceptive methods in preventing of OvCa. RESULTS: Combined hormonal contraceptive (CHC) use is an effective method of chemoprevention for OvCa in the general population and in women with genetic disorders...
