Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: Female BRCA1/2 mutation carriers are at increased risk of breast and ovarian cancer. Annual breast and semiannual ovarian cancer screening is recommended for early detection, which frequently leads to false-positive test results (FPTR). FPTR may influence cancer risk perceptions and worry, which in turn may affect an individual's decision to undergo risk-reducing bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy (RRSO)...
