Angelina Jolie reveals she plans to go back under the knife to prevent ovarian cancer

Angelina Jolie has revealed she plans to have further surgery in a bid to prevent herself developing cancer.
The star had both breasts removed last year after tests showed she carries the BRCA1 gene, meaning her chances of contracting both breast and ovarian cancer are very high.
'There’s still another surgery to have, which I haven’t yet,' she told entertainment weekly I’ll get advice from all these wonderful people who I’ve been talking to, to get through that next stage.'
Angelina, 38, is expected to have a hysterectomy and an oophorectomy, where the ovaries are removed, to combat her raised odds of developing ovarian cancer, which stand at 50 per cent
