Fallopian tube removal to prevent ovarian cancer
Part of Cancer, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at removing fallopian tubes during other planned surgeries to help prevent ovarian cancer. You may be able to join if you are at least 45 years old, are female or assigned female at birth, and are having non-gynecologic surgery (like gallbladder or hernia repair).

This study looks at how much opioid pain medicine people need after having their fallopian tubes removed through small incisions (laparoscopic or robotic salpingectomy). It aims to see if the usual pain medicine can be reduced to decrease opioid use.
This study looks at removing the fallopian tubes during gallbladder surgery to help prevent ovarian cancer. It is for people who are done having children and are already having their gallbladder removed.
This study looks at whether removing the fallopian tubes at the same time as weight-loss surgery can help prevent ovarian cancer. If you join, during your bariatric surgery, your surgeon would also remove your fallopian tubes.
This study looks at the safety of removing your fallopian tubes first (RRS) and delaying ovary removal (oophorectomy) to lower cancer risk. It focuses on women who carry certain inherited gene changes, and may help avoid earlier menopause for some people.
This study looks at whether removing the fallopian tubes first, and the ovaries later, is safe for women with certain inherited gene mutations that raise ovarian cancer risk. It may help you understand a prevention approach when you’re considered high risk and have finished having children.
This study looks at different ways to lower the risk of ovarian and pelvic cancer in women who have certain gene changes. It may involve removing the fallopian tubes (fimbriectomy) as a preventive step, and compares different strategies to see which works best.
