Description
Inzoli and coauthors track surgery choices in women with BRCA gene faults. Faults in those genes raise ovarian cancer risk a great deal. Guide rules urge removal of tubes and ovaries to cut that risk. Yet many women decline or delay that surgery.
The team tracked carriers sent for first advice at a center in Monza, Italy. Records span from 2010 to 2023. Each woman was offered surgery or close checks based on her traits. The team logged who chose surgery and who chose checks. They also sought traits that swayed each choice. Facts may help staff counsel new carriers with more care.
