1. Oophorectomy Linked to Increased Risk for All-Cause Mortality

"Compared with ovarian conservation, bilateral oophorectomy at the time of hysterectomy for benign disease is associated with a decreased risk of breast and ovarian cancer but an increased risk of all-cause mortality, fatal and nonfatal coronary heart disease, and lung cancer," the study authors write. "In no analysis or age group was oophorectomy associated with increased survival."
