Next Gen in 10: The Promise of Risk-Reducing Salpingectomy

Next Gen in 10 is back! 🎙️ In this episode, Sabrina sits down with Dr. Alex Lukey, a registered nurse and recent PhD graduate whose work is shaping the future of ovarian cancer prevention. Alex walks us through her research on the acceptability and feasibility of risk-reducing salpingectomy (RRS), shares what she learned from interviewing OBGYNs, and reflects on the ethical, clinical, and equity considerations that come with offering RRS to people at moderate risk. She also discusses her prediction model designed to support informed decision-making — and the big questions she’s excited to explore next. Tune in for a clear, thoughtful look at where ovarian cancer prevention is heading.Resources:1. Lukey A, Sowamber R, Huntsman D, et al.
