Abstract:results of a prospective randomized trial analyzing 146 patients, of whom 74 had a prophylactic oophorectomy. The survival analysis reported in this publication, however, did not find a significant difference in disease-free or overall survival at five years. 21 Unfortunately, this underpowered study was not continued for unspecified reasons. 21 As such, it remains unknown whether a higher number of patients or a longer follow-up period would have yielded different results.
