Genetic susceptibility testing and prophylactic oophorectomy.

European journal of obstetrics, gynecology, and reproductive biology - 1 Feb 1999

Berchuck A, Carney M E, Futreal P A

Abstract excerpt

About 10% of ovarian cancer cases are thought to have a hereditary basis and family history is the strongest risk factor for the development of this disease. In the past, prophylactic oophorectomy has been advocated for women with two or more affected first-degree relatives. More recently, with t...
