Just watched new episode of Dr Oz on new developments in ovca research. Should be available on his website, www.droz.com. Most significant issue was that cancer cells may originate in fallopian tubes and then attach to ovary. Also explains how ovca can spread thruout abdomen so insidiously. Research was done @ U of Washington. BC Canada now rec fallopian tube removal w/uterus in hysterectomies.
Also, kudos to Dr Oz for airing this during Pink month.

Just a note: I read the article and listened to the segment and this study only involved women with a genetic predisposition. No help for someone like me: I was the first person to get divorced in my family, and the very first person in the collective memory of my family to have cancer. Trust me to be all "over-achiever!"0
