Early diagnosis of peritoneal carcinoma based on a subtle rise in serum CA125 level within the normal range in a BRCA2 mutation carrier with serous tubal intraepithelial carcinoma discovered after risk-reducing salpingo-oophorectomy: A case report and literature review.

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVES: To illustrate the potential benefit of surveillance strategies for early primary peritoneal cancer (PPC) detection in BRCA2 mutation carriers with serous tubal intraepithelial carcinoma (STIC) identified at risk-reducing salpingo-oophorectomy (RRSO). CASE REPORT: A 74-year-old BRCA2 mutation carrier underwent at 71 years of old, with incidental STIC. She was monitored with CA125 and imaging. At 34...
