Flexible hollow tubes (also just called ‘tubes’) in which an egg released from the ovary is usually fertilized and that assist this fertilized egg to get into the uterus. New science indicates that ovarian cancer begins in the tubes. If you are having a common permanent contraceptive procedure called “tubal ligation” (or a hysterectomy), it may reduce ovarian cancer risk if you ask that your tubes be totally removed during the same operation.
