Some doctors have renewed calls for some women to remove their fallopian tubes to prevent ovarian cancer, even if they don't have a high genetic risk. It follows what many call a disappointing study about screening for the disease. CBS2's Alice Gainer reports.

Prof Kehoe speaks with ecancer at the 10th BGICC in Cairo about screening results uncovering the fallopian tubes as a primary site of tumour development.

He describes how this can mean cancer screening for ovarian or cervical cancer missing early disease, or catching what are in fact metastatic cells outside the original lesion.

Prof Kehoe calls for greater awareness of these events, and ongoing vigilance in catching malignancies as early as possible.
