RE: Breast Cancer Risk After Salpingo-Oophorectomy in Healthy BRCA1/2 Mutation Carriers: Revisiting the Evidence for Risk Reduction

TL;DR: In this article, Heemskerk-Gerritsen et al. investigated the effect of risk-reducing salpingo-oophorectomy (RRSO) on breast cancer risk.

Genetic Testing and Clinical Management Practices for Variants in Non-BRCA1/2 Breast (and Breast/Ovarian) Cancer Susceptibility Genes: An International Survey by the Evidence-Based Network for the Interpretation of Germline Mutant Alleles (ENIGMA) Clinical Working Group

Sarah M. Nielsen, +65 more
TL;DR: A snapshot of international genetic testing practices, specifically regarding the use of multigene panels, for hereditary breast/ovarian cancers is described, showing that a small number of genes beyond BRCA1/2 are routinely analyzed worldwide, and management guidelines are limited and largely based on expert opinion.
Journal Article

Preventive surgery is associated with reduced cancer risk and mortality in women with BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations.

TL;DR: The results of the latest, largest, multinational study on the effects of preventive surgery in BRCA1/2 mutation carriers are consistent with earlier studies and provide strong evidence for the use of preventive operations as an effective approach to managing this genetic risk.
