    As we move forward, new research is still needed to provide insight into the carcinogenesis and interaction between the tubes and ovaries and molecular studies may someday find more effective screening strategies.59,60

    Citation Excerpt :

    After reading the abstracts, a total of 35 studies were excluded, and 37 were assessed in full-text form. Of the 37 citations evaluated in full-text form, one was a committee opinion,26 three were letters to the editor,27–29 four were comments,30–33 one was a case report,34 three were review articles,35–37 three were articles about surveys,38–40 four reported on BRCA,41–44 seven did not report on salpingectomy (one reported on oophorectomy45 and six reported on tubal ligation46–51), five did not focus on cancer incidence (two reported on ovarian reserves3,52 and three reported on operative complications53–55), and two did not give data for the calculation of OC incidence.56,57 These citations were thus excluded.

  • Risk assessment, genetic counseling, and clinical care for hereditary breast cancer

    2014, JOGNN - Journal of Obstetric, Gynecologic, and Neonatal Nursing
    Citation Excerpt :

    There may be a benefit to this approach in that progesterone supplementation appears to raise subsequent breast cancer risk more than estrogen monotherapy when provided to postmenopausal women (de Villiers et al., 2013). Finally, theoretical risk exists for the development of cancer in the remaining stump of fallopian tube imbedded within the wall of the uterus (Collins, Domchek, Huntsman, & Mitchell, 2011). Although each of these issues in isolation may not be enough to guide a woman's decision about oophorectomy or hysterectomy, the additive effect of these potential benefits may influence a woman's choice.
