Oophorectomy for breast cancer prevention in women with BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutations.

Women's health (London, England) - 1 Jan 2009

Metcalfe Kelly A

Abstract excerpt

Owing to the significant breast cancer risk associated with BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutations, women with these mutations have several options available to them by which to reduce the risk of breast cancer. These include surgical (prophylactic mastectomy and prophylactic oophorectomy) and medical (chemoprevention) options. The breast cancer risk reductions associated with these options range from a 90% risk reduction...
