Study compares surgeries for reducing ovarian cancer risk in women at high risk for the disease

Gynecologic oncology researchers are testing a surgery that may help women who have a high genetic risk for developing ovarian cancer. They want to know whether preemptively removing the fallopian tubes -- and leaving the ovaries intact -- can reduce a woman's risk of ovarian cancer. Explaining the study is Rinki Agarwal, MD, an associate professor of obstetrics and gynecology at Upstate; she is the medical director of the Upstate Cancer Center's gynecologic oncology program and the director of the center's genetics program.
