Sixteen had ovarian or primary peritonealcancer and 16 had other cancers.
2
Risk-reducing salpingo-oophorectomy in a single institution has so far avoided peritonealcancer incidence.
3
All of the 245 women in the study had stage III epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube or peritonealcancer.
4
Fourteen patients had high-grade serous ovarian cancer, one had primary peritonealcancer, and one had BRCA-mutated breast cancer.

6
