Oophorectomy clinical trials at UCSF
1 research study open to eligible people
An oophorectomy is a surgery to remove one or both ovaries. UCSF is studying two surgeries to see which one lowers the risk of ovarian cancer in people with BRCA1 mutations. The trial compares removing just the fallopian tubes with removing both tubes and ovaries.
Two Surgical Procedures in Individuals With BRCA1 Mutations to Assess Reduced Risk of Ovarian Cancer
open to eligible females ages 35-50
This clinical trial evaluates how well two surgical procedures (bilateral salpingectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy) work in reducing the risk of ovarian cancer for individuals with BRCA1 mutations. Bilateral salpingectomy involves the surgical removal of fallopian tubes, and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy involves the surgical removal of both the fallopian tubes and ovaries. This study may help doctors determine if the two surgical procedures are nearly the same for ovarian cancer risk reduction for women with BRCA1 mutations.
