Oophorectomy clinical trials at UCSF

1 research study open to eligible people

Oophorectomy means taking out one or both ovaries through surgery. UCSF is conducting trials to see which surgery is better at reducing ovarian cancer risk in people with BRCA1 mutations. The surgeries being compared are bilateral salpingectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy.

  • 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.
