Opportunistic salpingectomy: What about the role of the ovary in ovarian cancer?

A report in this issue of Cancer reviews the concept of bilateral salpingectomy as a preventive approach for high-grade serous carcinomas and describes the potential for risk reduction while limiting adverse effects of premature menopause that occur after salpingo-oophorectomy.
