Brief summary

Some BRCA-mutated women are reluctant to undergo laparoscopic bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy. The goal of the bilateral laparoscopic radical fimbriectomy the investigators suggest, is to suppress the tubal source of possible dysplastic cells from which can stem this high grade tumor, while preserving a natural ovarian hormonal secretion.

Detailed description

Most of ovarian carcinomas related to BRCA 1 or 2 mutations are of fallopian tube origin and especially from its distant part called the fimbria. These tubal, ovarian or primary peritoneal carcinomas are quite always of high grade serous type. They cannot be effectively screened due to the quickness of their evolution. In this context, a laparoscopic bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy (BSO) is the recommended prophylactic procedure. Some BRCA-mutated women are reluctant to undergo this procedure considering the numerous adverse effects on body and quality of life, especially when hormonal replacement is forbidden. This refusal makes them at risk of developing a serous pelvic carcinoma. The goal of the bilateral laparoscopic radical fimbriectomy the investigators suggest, is to suppress the tubal source of possible dysplastic cells from which can stem this high grade tumor, while preserving a natural ovarian hormonal secretion

PROCEDURERadical fimbriectomy

Laparoscopic bilateral radical fimbriectomy : Complete resection of the tubes, from the uterine tube (up against the uterus) to the fimbriae, with resection of the part of the ovary adjacent to the ovarian fimbriae (adhering to the ovary)

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Rate of pelvic canceran expected average of 15 yearsNumber of ovarian or primary serous peritoneal carcinoma occuring between fimbriectomy and menopause

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Morbidity associated with the radical prophylactic fimbriectomyUp to 30 days after the surgeryMorbidity will be assessed according to the Clavien-Dindo classification up to 30 days after the procedure and according to the NCI-CTCAE v4.0 grading scale beyond that time
Rate of occult lesions on fimbriectomy specimens and secondary oophorectomy specimensWithin 1 month after fimbriectomy, and within 1 month after oophorectomyNumber of serous tubal intraepithelial carcinoma or invasive carcinomas on the operative specimens
Incidence of breast cancer on patients without breast cancer before fimbriectomy, and incidence (de novo or recurrence) of breast cancer on the overall study populationan expected average of 15 yearsNumber of cases of breast cancer or breast cancer recurrence observed
Rate of secondary oophorectomies and associated morbidity, and reasons for oophorectomy if decided before the age of 50 et before menopausisan expected average of 15 yearsNumber of oophorectomies and time between fimbriectomy and oophorectomy Complications according to NCI-CTCAE v4.0 grading scale
Proteomic profile of tissues from radical fimbriectomyUp to 7 years after sample collectionImmunostaining is realised on sections of ovary portion, fimbriae and fallopian tubes, then tumoral zones are selected for spatially resolved gun microproteomic analysis
Proportion of menopausal women before oophorectomy or at the LPLV without oophorectomy, and rate patients who experienced early menopause (before the age of 40)an expected average of 15 yearsNumber of cases of menopausis an early menopausis observed
Proportion of benign histological abnormalities on radical Fimbriectomy specimensWithin 1 month after fimbriectomyNumber of benign histological abnormalities on the operative specimens
Patient's satisfaction at distance from Radical FimbriectomyUp to 10 yearsPatient satisfaction survey
