Based on  limited epidemiologic data, bilateral oophorectomy has been associated  with a reduced risk of breast cancer but an increased risk of colorectal  cancer, lung cancer, cancer mortality, and all-cause mortality. The  effect of hysterectomy with retention of one or both ovaries on  long-term health outcomes is less clear. The objective of the current  study is to assess the relation of bilateral oophorectomy and  hysterectomy to incidence of the most common cancers in women (breast,  colorectal, and lung) and to cancer mortality and all-cause mortality in  the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/slone\/research\/studies\/bwhs\/\">Black Women\u2019s Health Study (BWHS)<\/a>.
