Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine whether an innovative preventive strategy, consisting of early salpingectomy upon completion of childbearing with delayed oophorectomy beyond current guideline age, improves menopause-related quality of life without significantly increasing ovarian cancer incidence in comparison to current standard salpingo-oophorectomy in female BRCA1/2 mutation carriers.

Salpingectomy with delayed oophorectomy
EXPERIMENTALFemale BRCA mutation carriers can opt for early salpingectomy upon completion of childbearing, followed by second stage oophorectomy delayed for five years beyond current guideline ages for risk-reducing salpingo-oophorectomy (i.e. age 40-45 for BRCA1 mutation carriers and 45-50 for BRCA mutation carriers).
Risk-reducing salpingo-oophorectomy
ACTIVE COMPARATORFemale BRCA mutation carriers can opt for standard risk-reducing salpingo-oophorectomy at current guideline ages (age 35-40 for BRCA1 mutation carriers and age 40-45 for BRCA2 mutation carriers).
Interventions
Early salpingectomy upon completions of childbearing with postponement of oophorectomy until between 40 and 45 in BRCA1 mutation carriers and between age 45 and 50 in BRCA2 mutation carriers.
This is the current guideline procedure, usually performed between age 35 and 40 in BRCA1 mutation carriers and between age 40 and 45 in BRCA2 mutation carriers.
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Premenopausal women with a documented BRCA1 and/or BRCA2 germline mutation
- Age 25-40 years for BRCA1 mutation carriers, 25-45 years for BRCA2
- Childbearing completed
- Presence of at least one fallopian tube
- Participants may have a personal history of non-ovarian malignancy
You may not qualify if:
- Postmenopausal status (natural menopause or due to (cancer) treatment)
- Wish for second stage oophorectomy within two years after salpingectomy (if clear at enrollment)
- Legally incapable
- Prior bilateral salpingectomy
- A personal history of ovarian, fallopian tube or peritoneal cancer
- Evidence of malignant disease at enrollment
- Treatment for malignant disease at enrollment
- Inability to read or speak Dutch
