Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Women with a germline mutation in one of the MMR genes MLH1, MSH2 or MSH6 reportedly have 4-12% lifetime risk of ovarian cancer, but there is limited knowledge on survival. Prophylactic bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy (PBSO) has been suggested for preventing this condition. AIM: The purpose of this retrospective multicentre study was to describe survival in carriers of pathogenic mutations in one of...
