Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Risk-reducing mastectomy of BRCA1 and BRCA2 gene mutation carriers is known to significantly reduce lifetime risk of breast cancer. Our aim was to study the frequency and outcome of risk-reducing mastectomies performed in Helsinki University Central Hospital during 1997-2010. MATERIAL AND METHODS: In testing for mutations in BRCA1 and BRCA2, 136 female carriers had been identified and...
