The conclusions for BRCA1 mutation carriers were quite different. The authors concluded that BRCA1 carriers who had used oral contraceptives before 1975, before the age of 30 years, ...

BRCA1 and/or BRCA2 tumor pathogenic variants (tPVs) were found in 42 patients, or 15.8% of patients. When compared with patients without BRCA1/2 mutations patients with those mutations were younger ...

Although the extent to which different gene mutations increase a woman’s risk of breast cancer isn’t completely understood, it is known that BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations carry the highest risk.

In their retrospective study, Rebbeck et al [] concluded that in female BRCA1/2 mutation carriers, a BPO may aid in identifying early stage, more treatable ovarian cancer. For those opting for a ...
