01/01/1996 - "In conclusion, it is posited that prophylactic oophorectomy in women with a history of familial ovarian cancer who have completed their family by age 35 and desire prophylactic oophorectomy and in women age 40 or older who undergo hysterectomy for benign uterine conditions may result in a significant decrease in the death rate from ovarian cancer - a disease in search of a highly sensitive screening test(s) and improved therapy."
11/01/1991 - "This article presents the background, rationale, and structure of the Yale Early Detection Program for ovarian cancer, whose goals are to identify the best techniques for diagnosing ovarian cancer in an early stage, to determine the frequency with which such tests should be employed, to assess false-positive results, and to identify women who might benefit from prophylactic oophorectomies."
09/01/2010 - "If proven effective, this technique can be useful in screening women at high risk of developing ovarian cancer to determine whether oophorectomy is necessary."
12/01/2003 - "With continued improvement in genetic screening, the literature regarding prevention of ovarian cancer appears to be moving beyond the appropriateness of prophylactic oophorectomy to a discussion of the technical aspects of the procedure. "
10/01/2003 - "The aim of this study was to describe the feasibility, associated morbidity, and efficacy of radical oophorectomy with primary stapled colorectal anastomosis among patients with locally advanced ovarian cancer with contiguous extension to or encasement of the reproductive organs, pelvic peritoneum, cul-de-sac, and sigmoid colon.
