This study is looking at whether removal of the fallopian tubes (salpingectomy) followed by removal of the ovaries (oophorectomy) at a later date closer to the time of natural menopause may reduce the risk of ovarian cancer nearly as much as removing both the ovaries and fallopian tubes at the same time (salpingo-oophorectomy) among women with an inherited BRCA1, BRCA2, BRIP1, RAD51C or RAD51D mutation. Removing the fallopian tubes only first and the ovaries at a later time closer to natural menopause may lessen menopausal symptoms while still lowering the risk for ovarian cancer.
Participants in this study will enroll in one of two groups. Participants will choose which group they enroll in based on their surgical preference.
