In an Op-Ed in the New York Times, actress Angelina Jolie shared her personal decision to undergo an oophorectomy, a surgical procedure to remove the ovaries and fallopian tubes. The choice was not made lightly. With many options available, choices for the prevention of ovarian cancer should be made after discussing family history and risks with experts.
Cheryl C. Saenz, MD, oncologist and professor in reproductive medicine, is available to discuss options available to women. She is particularly interested in the preventive aspects of gynecologic cancer care and is dedicated to educating women at risk for cancer of the cervix, uterus, ovaries and fallopian tubes.
