At the time of hysterectomy for benign disease, the overall health benefits of preserving ovarian function in a large population of women have not been established.
We are conducting a prospective, observational study of 32,175 women participants of the Nurse's Health Study who had a hysterectomy with or without removal of both ovaries. We are evaluating mortality and morbidity due to the following conditions: coronary heart disease, stroke, breast cancer, ovarian cancer, other cancer, hip fracture and death from all causes.
2,695 studies on the registry are indexed under Ovarian Neoplasms; 727 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 32,175 is above the median of 200 across 527 observational studies indexed under Ovarian Neoplasms.
