Pathologic Findings at Risk Reducing Surgery in <i>BRCA</i> and Non-<i>BRCA</i> Mutation Carriers: A Single-Center Experience

Risk-reducing surgery (RRS) is recommended in BRCA-mutated carriers because of their increased risk of developing ovarian cancer, while its role is still discussed for women harboring mutations in non-<i>BRCA</i> homologous repair genes. The aim of this study was to retrospectively evalu...

description Risk-reducing surgery (RRS) is recommended in BRCA-mutated carriers because of their increased risk of developing ovarian cancer, while its role is still discussed for women harboring mutations in non-<i>BRCA</i> homologous repair genes. The aim of this study was to retrospectively evaluate the occurrence of pathological findings in a high-risk population undergoing RRS in San Matteo Hospital, Pavia between 2012 and 2022, and correlate their genetic and clinical outcomes, comparing them with a control group. The final cohort of 190 patients included 85 <i>BRCA1</i>, 63 <i>BRCA2</i>, 11 <i>CHEK2</i>, 7 <i>PALB2</i>, 4 <i>ATM</i>, 1 <i>ERCC5</i>, 1 <i>RAD51C</i>, 1 <i>CDH1</i>, 1 <i>MEN1, 1 MLH1</i> gene mutation carriers and 15 patients with no known mutation but with strong familial risk. Occult invasive serous carcinoma (HGSC) and serous tubal intraepithelial carcinoma (STIC) were diagnosed in 12 (6.3%) women, all of them <i>BRCA</i> carriers. No neoplastic lesion was diagnosed in the non-<i>BRCA</i> group, in women with familial risk, or in the control group. Oral contraceptive use and age ≤45 at surgery were both found to be favorable factors. While p53 signature and serous tubal intraepithelial lesion (STIL) were also seen in the control group and in non-<i>BRCA</i> carriers, STIC and HGSC were only found in <i>BRCA1/2</i> mutation carriers.
