For women who carry a notorious cancer gene, surgery to remove healthy ovaries is one of the most protective steps they can take. New research suggests some may benefit most from having the operation as young as 35. Women who inherit either of two faulty BRCA genes are at much higher risk of developing breast and ovarian cancer than other women, and at younger ages. Jolie generated headlines last year when she had her healthy breasts removed to reduce her cancer risk. (AP Photo/Hussein Malla)
