Based on this finding and other reports of such primary peritoneal carcinoma, a prospective international study is planned. This study will compare the incidence of peritoneal carcinoma in first- or second-degree relatives who underwent prophylactic oophorectomy because of a family history of ovarian cancer with that of those who did not undergo prophylactic oophorectomy.
