The odds of adopting opportunistic salpingectomy into practice are increased among surgeons previously sharing patients with physicians who have high rates of opportunistic salpingectomy use, according to a recent study published in JAMA Network open.1
Despite having one of the highest death rates of any gynecological cancer, ovarian cancer does not have routine screening, indicating benefits from primary prevention. Opportunistic salpingectomy (OS),defined as removal of both fallopian tubes,has been highlighted as a way to provide sterilization and reduce ovarian cancer risk.2
“Given varying knowledge gaps among physicians about OS, there is likely substantial subjectivity in their beliefs prone to peer influence,” wrote investigators.1
