Influences on genetic testing and prophylactic surgical decision making of women at risk of hereditary breast and ovarian cancers

2020-01-01

Abstract excerpt

Women with a family history of breast or ovarian cancers may be eligible for genetic testing to see if they have a genetic mutation that increases their risk of either disease. Two prevalent mutations increasing breast and ovarian cancer risks are BRCA1 and BRCA2. Women carrying a BRCA mutation may consider risk-reducing breast and or ovarian surgeries to reduce their risk of future disease. When faced with these...
