Uptake of Risk‐Reducing Salpingo‐Oophorectomy and Gynaecologic Surveillance Among Germline <scp><i>BRCA</i></scp> Pathogenic Variants Carriers
This study shows a high uptake rate of RRSO in BRCA PV-carriers. We believe that the presence of a dedicated outpatient clinic with a multidisciplinary team contributes decisively to our results. Gynaecologic surveillance, as though not beneficial in terms of oncological prevention, may play a significant role in encouraging women with BRCA PV to opt for risk-reducing surgery.
