Objective: Despite substantial survival benefits of risk-reducing mastectomy (RRM) and risk-reducing bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy (RRBSO) among BRCA mutation carriers, only a minority elect to undergo these procedures. This study investigates factors that might influence decision making regarding prophylactic surgeries among women with BRCA mutations.
Study Design: Unaffected BRCA mutation carriers who were counseled at our center and either underwent prophylactic surgery or participated in a high-risk surveillance program at our institution from 1998 through 2010 were included in the study.
