Bone mineral density and fractures after risk-reducing salpingo-oophorectomy in women at increased risk for breast and ovarian cancer

Five years after RRSO, BMD and fracture incidence were not different than expected from the general population. Based on these data it appears safe not to intensively screen for osteoporosis within five years after RRSO, although prospective research on the long-term effects of RRSO on bone is warranted.
