Thanks for everyone so far. You are all the bestest


Not trying to be a wise guy, but...

wouldn't removal of non-cancerous ovaries result in a 100% reduction in ovarian cancer, since there are no ovaries to become cancerous in the first place?
Same with bi-lateral mastectomy reducing primary breast cancer...

(really not being sarcastic here...just counter-intuitive wording)
