Experimental Treatment
Group I: Mirena® IUDExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
This is a non-randomized study of the effect of Mirena® IUD use of at least 10 days before an RRSO or RRS on cell proliferation within the FTF and when available within ovarian CICs in women aged 35 through 50. The study will compare the results from 14 women using Mirena® with the results from 28 normally cycling women identified under MSK IRB Protocol #14-165 described above; all patients will be aged 35-50 years, and will have undergone the RRSO at MSK. To date we have identified approximately 100 suitable controls and are continuing to identify further suitable controls among women who have recently undergone RRSOs at MSK. The balancing/matching factors will be BRCA status (BRCA1/BRCA2/BRCA-ve), age (35-39/40-44/45-50), parity (nulliparous/parous), and BMI (\<30/30+ kg/m\^2). As each Mirena® patient completes the study and is deemed evaluable, she will be matched on each of these factors with 2 controls.
