Women with strong genetic risk for<unk>  may consider the surgical removal of their ovaries as a preventive measure. This is often done after completion of childbearing years. This reduces the chances of developing both breast<unk>  (by around 50%) and<unk>  (by about 96%) in women at high risk. Women with BRCA gene mutations usually also have their Fallopian tubes removed at the same time (salpingo-oophorectomy), since they also have an increased risk of Fallopian tube<unk> . However, these statistics may overestimate the risk reduction because of how they have been studied. Women with a significant family history for<unk>  are often referred to a genetic counselor to see if testing for BRCA mutations would be beneficial. The use of oral contraceptives, the absence of 'periods' during the menstrual cycle, and tubal ligation reduce the risk. There may an association of developing<unk>  and<unk>  stimulation during infertility treatments. Endometriosis has been linked to<unk> s. Human papillomavirus infection, smoking, and talc have not been identified as increasing the risk for developing<unk> .
