Short Term Aspirin on the Biologic and Immunologic Changes of the Fallopian Tube

Subjects in this study will receive low dose aspirin for 14 days before undergoing surgery to
remove fallopian tubes removed to determine whether aspirin decreases inflammation in the
fallopian tube. Subjects will also submit blood samples at their initial visit with their
oncologist, at the time of surgery and at the pre-operative visit to measure inflammation
markers and blood counts. A portion of the subject's fallopian tube will be collected for
future research studies.
