Abstract
Background
We sought to estimate the impact, acceptance, and additional cost of opportunistic bilateral salpingectomy (OBS) or bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy (BSO) during certain non-gynecologic procedures on the incidence of high grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC).
STUDY DESIGN: US population and institutional data were reviewed for three common laparoscopic non-gynecologic surgeries: Cholecystectomy (CCY), Ventral Hernia Repair (VHR), and Bariatric Surgical Procedures (BSP). Additionally, institutional review was performed on all patients, aged 35–75, undergoing these procedures from July 2016 to June 2019 to determine candidacy for OBS or BSO. Patients with history of hysterectomy or tubal sterilization were excluded. Baseline population risk (1.4%) and estimated risk reduction associated with OBS (65%) and BSO (98%) were applied to determine the impact OBS or BSO would have on incidence if applied as standard of care. Separately, patients were surveyed regarding acceptance of concurrent risk reducing procedure. Cost effective analysis (CEA) was performed using multiple models which evaluated participation of Surgery, OB/GYN, and both.
Results
For the institutional review, 765 cases were identified, with 417 eligible. Extrapolating the percentage of eligible female patients from our institution undergoing CCY (63 %), VHR (57 %), and BSP (81 %) to reported annual US cases, resulted in eligible cases as follows: CCY (472,500), VHR (199,500–285,000), and BSP (184,680). Therefore, we estimate 466,891–––513,488 eligible patients per year. Assuming 20,400 new ovarian cancer (OC) cases annually, between 4,248 and 4,839 cases would be eliminated (20.8–23.7 % reduced incidence). Fifty-nine patients were surveyed (13 AA, 2H) with acceptance rate of 81 %. CEA revealed that multiple models for institution of this practice would favor implementing risk reducing surgery, with OBS performing better than BSO.
Conclusion
Over half of female patients undergoing three common non-gynecologic abdominal surgeries could benefit from OBS or BSO. If logistics can be arranged between surgeons and their patients, incidence of OC could be reduced by at least 20–25%.
期刊介绍:
Gynecologic Oncology Reports is an online-only, open access journal devoted to the rapid publication of narrative review articles, survey articles, case reports, case series, letters to the editor regarding previously published manuscripts and other short communications in the field of gynecologic oncology. The journal will consider papers that concern tumors of the female reproductive tract, with originality, quality, and clarity the chief criteria of acceptance.
