Abstract
(Abstracted from BJS 2020;107:519–524) The majority of ovarian cancers are now believed to originate in the fimbriae of the fallopian tubes as serous tubal intraepithelial carcinomas (STICs). Removal of the fallopian tubes (salpingectomy) has been associated with a reduced risk of developing ovarian cancer, leading to gynecologic societies recommending prophylactic salpingectomy at the time of pelvic surgery in appropriate women.
