Removing fallopian tubes during weight-loss surgery to prevent ovarian cancer
Part of Cancer, Hormones & metabolism, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must still have your fallopian tubes (you haven't had them removed before).
- You must be scheduled for or planning to have weight-loss (bariatric) surgery.
- You must have completed child-bearing (do not plan to have more children).
- You must be able to give your informed consent (understand and agree to participate).

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 how removing the fallopian tubes during a hysterectomy affects menopause symptoms and hormone levels. If you qualify, researchers will compare your experience with others to see if this surgery has any impact on menopause.
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 how ovarian reserve (a fertility-related marker) changes in women after bariatric (weight-loss) surgery versus women with obesity who are not planning surgery. It may help doctors better understand fertility timing and risks around weight-loss treatment.
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 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).
