Article Synopsis
- A survey was conducted among women at risk for BRCA to explore their decisions regarding prophylactic surgeries and risks of uterine cancers, involving 601 respondents predominantly female and well-educated.
- Out of those who had risk-reducing salpingo-oophorectomy (RRSO), over half also underwent a hysterectomy, with the most common motivations being provider recommendations and personal desire.
- Despite the low incidence of uterine cancer (with only nine cases diagnosed in the cohort), further research is suggested to determine which patients might benefit from simultaneous hysterectomy and RRSO.
