A recent study from experts at the University of Oxford has found that more women should consider removing their fallopian tubes to reduce their risk of ovarian cancer.
The study, published in the journal Nature Communications, found that women who have their fallopian tubes removed have a significantly lower risk of developing ovarian cancer than women who don’t.
The study also found that the risk of developing ovarian cancer is even lower for women who have their fallopian tubes removed before the age of 40.
The experts behind the study say that while the procedure is not without risks, it is an important option for women to consider if they are at high risk of developing ovarian cancer.
“Our findings suggest that removing the fallopian tubes may be a viable option for women at high risk of ovarian cancer,” said Dr. Christopher J. Earley, one of the authors of the study.
The experts say that more research needs to be done to understand the full risks and benefits of removing the fallopian tubes, but that the procedure could potentially save thousands of lives each year.
