Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND/AIMS: BRCA mutation carriers have a high lifetime risk of developing breast and ovarian malignancies. As genetic testing becomes widely available, preventative measures are a choice. We evaluated the characteristics of BRCA mutation carriers who chose prophylactic surgery (PS) compared to those who opted for surveillance. METHODS: A retrospective chart review of patients with a mutation in the BRCA1 or...
