Purpose of this Study
We are doing this study to compare 2 different surgical options for the prevention of ovarian cancer. We want to know which option is likely to produce the best outcomes for women who have genetic mutations that put them at high risk for developing ovarian cancer.

What is Involved?
Description
If you choose to join this study, you will discuss 2 different options for prevention of ovarian cancer with the study doctor and team and make your choice of which option you would like to pursue. The 2 options are:
- Risk-Reducing Salpingectomy with Delayed Risk-Reducing Oophorectomy: This option involves removing one or both fallopian tubes and then having one or both ovaries removed at a later time. This option is not the standard-of-care at this time.
- Risk-Reducing Salpingo-oopherectomy: This option involves the removal of one or both fallopian tubes and one or both ovaries at the same time. It is considered the standard-of-care option at this time.
