Prophylactic risk-reducing salpingo-oophorectomy in BRCA mutation carriers: what is going on in a region of northern Italy?
BRCA1 mutation carriers are recommended to undergo prophylactic risk-reducing salpingo-oophorectomy (RRSO) between the ages of 35 and 40 or when child bearing is complete, with a possible delay until age 40-45 for BRCA2 mutation carriers. ⋯ The results from this multicentre regional study should guide future preventive health policies for RRSO in BRCA mutation carriers.
