Some things that lower a woman's risk for ovarian cancer include: 1  Taking birth control pills (oral contraceptives). But this may slightly increase the risk for breast cancer and other health problems. 2  Having babies and breast-feeding. 3  Having both tubes tied (tubal ligation) or having a hysterectomy.
However, it is biologically plausible that ovary removal could affect colon cancer risk, according to Segelman, a colorectal surgeon at the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm. Other research, she explained, has suggested that sex hormones influence colon cancer development: Some studies have linked hormone replacement therapy after menopause and birth control pills to a decreased colon cancer risk, for example. And in lab studies, estrogen has been shown to inhibit colon cancer cells from growing, Segelman said.
