Angelina Jolie set to remove ovaries-she still has a 50% chance of contracting the same cancer that killed her mother.

Angelina Jolie is planning to have her ovaries removed, following a double mastectomy after discovering she's a carrier of the BRCA1 gene.

The 37-year-old actress made the brave decision to have three months of secret procedures after being told she had an 87% chance of contracting breast cancer. 

And now, Angelina is said to already be planning her next surgery - the removal of both her ovaries - as the gene means she has a 50% chance of developing ovarian cancer. 

According to People magazine, Angelina is likely to have the next procedures before she turns 40, as doctors recommend having the surgery done after child-bearing age.
After the surgery, Angelina will no longer be able to have biological children, although she still has the option to adopt.
