Fallopian tube removal during weight loss surgery to prevent ovarian cancer
Part of Cancer, Hormones & metabolism, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have your fallopian tubes (you have not had them removed before)
- You are planning to have bariatric (weight loss) surgery
- You have finished having children (do not plan to have more)
- You are able to give informed consent

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 during a hysterectomy affects menopause. It aims to help understand the benefits and risks of this preventive surgery.
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 follows women who carry gene mutations that increase ovarian cancer risk to understand how preventive surgery affects their health, quality of life, and peace of mind. Researchers will track your outcomes over 3 years to help inform future treatment decisions for others at similar risk.
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.
