Does it make sense to remove ovaries and fallopian tubes, sources of ovarian cancers?


If ovarian cancer develops in the ovaries, the female reproductive organs which store eggs and produce hormones, does it make sense to remove the ovaries, together with the layer of cells which cover the ovaries and the abdominal cavity?

Women , as a precaution, have removed breasts to avoid breast cancer.

Does it make sense then to remove ovaries and fallopian tubes which are the sources of ovarian cancers, after child- bearing ages have passed, to avoid the development of ovarian cancer in these sources?

To my knowledge, nowhere have I read the suggestion of removal of ovaries and fallopian tubes to avoid the development of ovarian cancer.
