Brief Summary
- 1.Fimbriectomy followed by delayed oophorectomy (F-DO).
- 2.Bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy (BSO).
- 3.Fimbriectomy followed by delayed oophorectomy (F-DO).
- 4.Bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy (BSO).
- 5.Follow-Up: Long-term follow-up includes clinical assessments, data collection from medical networks, and integration with national health databases to track outcomes up to the age of 70. This is the first French comparative study in real-world settings and is classified as interventional research (RIPH1) under French regulations, given the need to validate fimbriectomy efficacy.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Incidence of Advanced-Stage (Stage III or IV) Tubo-Ovarian or Primary Peritoneal Carcinoma
The study evaluates the long-term incidence of advanced-stage (Stage III or IV) tubo-ovarian or primary peritoneal carcinoma. This measure will be assessed using annual clinical evaluations, patient questionnaires, medical records, and data extracted from the French National Health Database (SNDS) and regional oncogenetic networks. Time from study entry to cancer diagnosis will be calculated, with death without cancer considered as a competing event. Data will be censored at the last follow-up visit for participants alive without cancer.
Up to 70 years of age
Secondary Outcomes (5)
Incidence of Any-Stage Tubo-Ovarian or Primary Peritoneal Carcinoma
Up to 70 years of age
Age at Menopause
Over the study period (up to age 70).
Incidence of Cardiovascular Events and Osteoporosis-Related Events
Over the study period (up to age 70)
Overall Survival
From study entry to death from any cause.
Surgical Complications
30 days following the surgery
Other Outcomes (1)
Benefit-Risk Ratio Analysis
Over the study period (up to age 70)
Study Arms (2)
Fimbriectomy Followed by Delayed Oophorectomy (F-DO)
EXPERIMENTALParticipants in this arm will undergo fimbriectomy, a surgical procedure to remove the fimbrial end of the fallopian tubes, while preserving ovarian function. A delayed oophorectomy (removal of the ovaries) will be performed at menopause or later, based on individual timing and preferences. This approach aims to reduce the risk of advanced-stage tubo-ovarian or primary peritoneal carcinoma while minimizing the adverse effects of premature menopause.
Bilateral Salpingo-Oophorectomy (BSO)
ACTIVE COMPARATORParticipants in this arm will undergo a bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy (BSO), the standard preventive surgical strategy, involving the removal of both fallopian tubes and ovaries. This procedure is performed around the recommended age of 40-45 years for women with BRCA1/2 mutations or similar high-risk genetic predispositions. The primary objective is to eliminate the risk of tubo-ovarian or primary peritoneal carcinoma, though it induces premature menopause.
Interventions
This intervention involves two stages: 1. Fimbriectomy: A preventive surgical procedure that removes the fimbrial end of the fallopian tubes, including adjacent ovarian tissue, while preserving ovarian function to avoid premature menopause. 2. Delayed Oophorectomy: The removal of ovaries, performed at menopause or later, depending on patient preference and clinical guidelines. * The F-DO strategy aims to reduce the risk of tubo-ovarian or primary peritoneal carcinoma, which often originates in the fallopian tubes, while minimizing the adverse effects of premature menopause such as cardiovascular disease and osteoporosis
This standard surgical intervention involves the removal of both fallopian tubes and ovaries (BSO) to eliminate the risk of tubo-ovarian or primary peritoneal carcinoma. It is typically recommended for women with a genetic predisposition (e.g., BRCA1/2 mutations) around the age of 40-45. While highly effective in preventing cancer, BSO induces premature menopause, which may result in long-term side effects such as increased cardiovascular risk, osteoporosis, and cognitive decline.
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Woman between 35 to 50 years
- Addressed to or followed in an oncogenetic counselling
- Identified risk of tubo-ovarian or primary peritoneal carcinoma based on mutational status (BRCA1, BRCA 2, RAD51C, RAD51D, PALB2). The list of considered mutations may be extended during the study.
- Written informed consent
- Patient covered by the French "Social Security"
You may not qualify if:
- Prior bilateral oophorectomy and/or bilateral salpingectomy for any reason (prophylactic surgery or other)
- Personal history of ovarian, fallopian tube or primary peritoneal cancer
- Menopause defined by
- In women without prior chemotherapy If no prior hysterectomy: the absence of menses for at least 12 months, or FSH \> 20 UI/L with low estrogen level with no identified gynecological or endocrine explanation. Amenorrhea related to an intrauterine device, vaginal ring or estrogen-progestin pill will not be considered as menopause.
- If prior hysterectomy: FSH \>20 UI/L with low estrogen level (with or without vasomotor symptoms, genitourinary symptoms)
- In women with prior chemotherapy: the absence of menses for at least 24 months
- In all women with progesterone-loaded intra-uterine device (IUD): FSH \> 20 UI/L with low estrogen level
- Inability to comply with medical follow-up of the trial (geographical, social or psychological reasons)
- Patient under guardianship or curatorship
