Ovarian Cancer Fallopian Tube Cancer | Other: RIsk-Reducing Salpingectomy (RRS) Other: Risk-Reducing Oophorectomy-RRO Other: Risk-Reducing Salpingo-Oophorectomy-RRSO | Not Applicable |
The aim of the project is to evaluate RRS with delayed RRO as an alternative for RRSO in BRCA1/2 gene germline mutation carriers with respect to ovarian cancer incidence. We hypothesize that postponement of oophorectomy and consequent menopause to the age of 40-45 (BRCA1) or 45-50 (BRCA2) compared to current standard RRSO at age 35-40 (BRCA1) or 40-45 (BRCA2) will not lead to a significant increase in ovarian cancer risk.
PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:
To evaluate non-inferiority of the innovative treatment (RRS with delayed RRO) as compared to the standard treatment (RRSO) with respect to high grade serous (ovarian) cancer incidence in BRCA1/2 gene germline mutation carriers.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVE:
Incidence of (pre)malignant findings in tubes/ovaries, perioperative morbidity and mortality, incidence of non-ovarian pelvic cancer, breast cancer, prophylactic breast surgery and uptake of risk reducing oophorectomy.
EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVE:
Estimate high grade serous (ovarian) cancer incidence for innovative and standard treatments in BRIP1, RAD51C, and RAD51D gene germline mutation carriers

Risk-Reducing Salpingectomy-RRS
Can help to lower the risk of ovarian cancer with a delayed removal of 1.
|
Other: RIsk-Reducing Salpingectomy (RRS)
complete questionnaires, standard-of-care laparoscopy to check the abdominal area before the assigned procedure |
Risk-Reducing Oophorectomy-RRO
Can help to lower the risk of ovarian cancer removing both fallopian tubes.
|
Other: Risk-Reducing Oophorectomy-RRO
complete questionnaires, standard-of-care laparoscopy to check the abdominal area before the assigned procedure |
Risk-Reducing Salpingo-Oophorectomy-RRSO
Can help to lower the risk of ovarian cancer as well as the standard-of-care risk-reducing procedure involving the removal of the fallopian tubes and ovaries (risk-reducing salpingo-oophorectomy-RRSO)
|
Other: Risk-Reducing Salpingo-Oophorectomy-RRSO
complete questionnaires, standard-of-care laparoscopy to check the abdominal area before the assigned procedure |
- To evaluate the non-inferiority of the innovative treatment (RRS with delayed RRO) as compared to the standard treatment (RRSO) with respect to high grade serous (ovarian) cancer incidence in BRCA1/2 gene germline mutation carriers. [ Time Frame: through study completion, an average of 1 year ]
