Abstract excerpt

PURPOSE: The uptake of risk-reducing surgery in women at increased risk of breast and ovarian cancer is highly variable between countries and centers within countries. We have investigated the rate, timing, and age of uptake of surgery in the northwest of England to report the results after up to 7 years in a Regional Genetics center. METHODS: Uptake was documented in 211 known unaffected BRCA1/2 mutation...
