A new way to prevent ovarian cancer
Early detection is the key to beating most cancers. Ovarian cancer is no exception,
but it’s often found after it has already spread.

starts in the fallopian tubes and then travels to the ovary.
Legacy Cancer Institute recommends that some women consider fallopian tube
removal to reduce their risk of ovarian cancer.
Who should consider fallopian tube removal?
