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 tests whether removing your fallopian tubes (the tubes that carry eggs) during planned gallbladder surgery can help prevent ovarian cancer. Research suggests that ovarian cancer may start in the fallopian tubes, so removing them during surgery you're already having might reduce your cancer risk.
This study looks at removing the fallopian tubes during weight loss surgery (also called bariatric surgery) to lower the risk of ovarian cancer. This is done as a preventive measure and is being tested to see if it is safe and feasible.
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 trial tests if removing the fallopian tubes (fimbriectomy) can lower the risk of ovarian or pelvic cancer in women with certain gene mutations. The goal is to find a less invasive prevention option.
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.
