| | Among 292 women who had not undergone prophylactic oophorectomy, ovarian cancer developed in 58 (19.9 percent) during a mean follow-up of nearly nine years. | | | In contrast to this, among 259 women who did undergo the procedure, a stage I ovarian tumour was identified at surgery in six (2.3 percent), and primary peritoneal cancer subsequently developed in two others (0.8 percent). | | | The first of these two studies was a multicentre international investigation for the Prevention and Observation of Surgical End Points Study Group led by researchers at University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, Philadelphia, United States. |

| | Finally, a positive result from this study would mean alterable conditions in the body at the time other treatments or procedures (like mammography) are given, can have a big effect on whether cancers grow or die. | | | Next, if surgical oophorectomy during the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle is more effective treatment, this means the specific hormonal changes with this surgery cause other major changes in the blood (in other growth promoting or inhibiting substances), changes which will be very important to identify. | | | Thus, if this study shows that luteal phase oophorectomy is more effective treatment, this would be a breakthrough for all women. |

| | We determined the incidence of ovarian cancer in 259 women who had undergone bilateral prophylactic oophorectomy and in 292 matched controls who had not undergone the procedure. | | | Of 99 women who underwent bilateral prophylactic oophorectomy and who were studied to determine the risk of breast cancer, breast cancer developed in 21 (21.2 percent), as compared with 60 (42.3 percent) in the control group (hazard ratio, 0.47; 95 percent confidence interval, 0.29 to 0.77). | | | With the exclusion of the six women whose cancer was diagnosed at surgery, prophylactic oophorectomy significantly reduced the risk of coelomic epithelial cancer (hazard ratio, 0.04; 95 percent confidence interval, 0.01 to 0.16). |

| | Inform patients considering oophorectomy, especially bilateral oophorectomy, that the loss of estrogen as a result of the operation has been linked with an increased risk for developing Parkinson's disease. | | | In this study of nearly 5,000 women, researchers compared those who underwent bilateral oophorectomy with those who had unilateral oophorectomy and matched them with women of the same age who had not undergone surgical removal of their ovaries. | | | Fifteen of the 24 women who underwent bilateral oophorectomy went on to develop Parkinson's disease and 10 of the 19 who had parkinsonism after having one ovary removed developed Parkinson's disease. |
