Abstract
Purpose of review: To describe current and future strategies to reduce the burden of ovarian cancer through prevention.
Recent findings: Current strategies in genetic testing are missing a substantial number of individuals at risk, representing a missed opportunity for ovarian cancer prevention. Past efforts at screening and early detection have thus far failed to improve ovarian cancer mortality, and novel techniques are needed. Surgical prevention is highly effective, but surgical menopause from oophorectomy has significant side effects. Novel surgical strategies aimed at reducing risk while minimizing these harms are currently being studied. To maximize ovarian cancer prevention, a multi-pronged approach is needed. We propose that more inclusive and accurate genetic testing to identify more individuals at risk, novel molecular screening and early detection, surgical prevention that maximizes quality of life while reducing risk, and broader adoption of targeted and opportunistic salpingectomy will together reduce the burden of ovarian cancer.
期刊介绍：
This journal aims to review the most important, recently published clinical findings in the field of oncology. By providing clear, insightful, balanced contributions by international experts, the journal intends to serve all those involved in the care of those affected by cancer.
We accomplish this aim by appointing international authorities to serve as Section Editors in key subject areas, such as cancer prevention, leukemia, melanoma, neuro-oncology, and palliative medicine. Section Editors, in turn, select topics for which leading experts contribute comprehensive review articles that emphasize new developments and recently published papers of major importance, highlighted by annotated reference lists. An international Editorial Board reviews the annual table of contents, suggests articles of special interest to their country/region, and ensures that topics are current and include emerging research. Commentaries from well-known figures in the field are also provided.
