'There's still another surgery to have': 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. 
Speaking to EW she explained that she was overwhelmed by the support she was offered after revealing her secret mastectomy.
She said: 'I was very, very moved by all the support and kindness from so many people.'

Angelina had the genetic test because her mother Marcheline Bertrand died from ovarian cancer in 2007, and the Salt star's results showed she had an 87 per cent chance of developing breast cancer and 50 per cent risk of ovarian cancer.
Angelina's maternal grandmother had died at age 45 from an unknown illness, and her aunt died of breast cancer aged 65.
The star also revealed in the same interview that her surgery last year brought her closer to other people battling health problems as they want to share their stories with her.

She explained: 'Wherever I go, usually I run into women and we talk about health issues, women's issues, breast cancer, ovarian cancer. I've talked to men about their daughters' and wives' health.
'It makes me feel closer to other people who deal with the same things and have either lost their parents or are considering surgeries or wondering about their children.'
In the same interview Angelina explained why her four-year-old daughter Vivienne was cast in her new movie Maleficent.

Angelina admitted it was out of necessity rather than choice as all of the other children who auditioned for the movie were terrified when they saw her in character as Sleeping Beauty's nemesis, with prosthetic cheekbones and horns.

She explained magazine: 'We think it’s fun for our kids to have cameos and join us on set, but not to be actors. That's not our goal, for Brad and I, at all. But the other three- and four-year-old [performers] wouldn’t come near me. It had to be a child that liked me and wasn't afraid of my horns and my eyes and my claws. So it had to be Viv.'
