Abstract
Due to improved understanding of ovarian cancer pathogenesis, we have an unprecedented chance to decrease the burden of disease by maximizing opportunities for prevention. Innovations in surgical options for prevention stem from the discovery that many cases directly or indirectly arise from the fallopian tube. Surgical prevention with salpingectomy alone decreases risk by ≥50%. Effective hormonal and nonhormonal chemopreventive agents are also available. Risk stratification is key to ensuring that options for prevention are appropriately matched to individual risk profile. This evidence-based review provides a critical appraisal of the translational health research endeavors supporting ovarian cancer prevention in clinical practice.
期刊介绍:
Each issue of Clinical Obstetrics and Gynecology is a complete symposium on one or two timely topics of interest in obstetrics and gynecology. For each quarterly issue, two prominent guest editors solicit contributions on key clinical topics of interest to practicing physicians. Procedures, current clinical problems, medical and surgical treatments, and effective diagnostic aids are all carefully reviewed in original articles. The result is an instructive resource that dispenses trustworthy clinical guidance that enhances your understanding of key areas of your practice.
