Abstract
Aim: Women with mutations in BRCA1/BRCA2 are at increased risk for breast and gynecologic cancers. The aim of the study to evaluate the clinical and surgical outcomes in patients with BRCA mutation carriers undergoing risk-reducing salpingo-oophorectomy (RRSO).
Methods: This retrospective observational study was conducted at Kartal Dr. Lütfi Kırdar City Hospital, between 2012 and 2022. The medical records of patients with BRCA1/BRCA2 mutations who had undergone prophylactic RRSO, were reviewed. The socio-demographic characteristics, clinical features, histopathological findings and surgical data were collected.
Results: A total of eleven patients with deleterious mutations (7 BRCA1 and 4 BRCA2) were identified during 10-year period. Following genetic counselling, all patients underwent RRSO. One of seven BRCA1 carriers were diagnosed with high grade serous ovarian carcinoma. Of these patients, eight had history of breast cancer. The remaining one BRCA mutation carriers underwent RRSO, but did not undergo prophylactic mastectomy.
Conclusions: Our findings support that BRCA1 or 2 mutation carriers have an increased lifetime risk of developing breast and ovarian cancer. For the prevention of breast and gynecological cancers, it is of great importance to provide professional genetic counseling, surveillance, and risk-reducing bilateral mastectomy and RRSO to BRCA mutation carriers.

BRCA1 ve BRCA2 mutasyonlu hastalarda risk azaltıcı bilateral salpingo-ooferektomi

Öz

Amaç: BRCA1/BRCA2 mutasyonu olan kadınlar meme ve jinekolojik kanserler için yüksek risk altındadır. Bu çalışmanın amacı, risk azaltıcı salpingo-ooferektomi (RRSO) uygulanan BRCA mutasyon taşıyıcıları olan hastalarda klinik ve cerrahi sonuçları değerlendirmektir.
Yöntemler: Bu retrospektif gözlemsel çalışma Kartal Dr. Lütfi Kırdar Şehir Hastanesi'nde 2012-2022 yılları arasında yapıldı. Profilaktik RRSO uygulanan BRCA1/BRCA2 mutasyonlu hastaların tıbbi kayıtları incelendi. Sosyodemografik özellikler, klinik özellikler, histopatolojik bulgular ve cerrahi veriler toplandı.
Bulgular: 10 yıllık süre içinde BRCA mutasyonları olan (7 BRCA1 ve 4 BRCA2) toplam 11 hasta tespit edildi. Genetik danışma sonrasında tüm hastalara RRSO uygulandı. Yedi BRCA1 taşıyıcısından birine yüksek dereceli seröz yumurtalık kanseri teşhisi kondu. Bu hastalardan sekizinde meme kanseri öyküsü vardı. Kalan bir BRCA mutasyon taşıyıcısına RRSO uygulandı, ancak profilaktik mastektomi yapılmadı.
Sonuçlar: Bulgularımız, BRCA1 veya 2 mutasyon taşıyıcılarının yaşam boyu meme ve yumurtalık kanseri geliştirme riskinin arttığını desteklemektedir. Meme ve jinekolojik kanserlerin önlenmesi için profesyonel genetik danışmanlık, gözetim ve risk azaltıcı bilateral mastektomi ve RRSO'dan BRCA mutasyon taşıyıcılarına verilmesi büyük önem taşımaktadır.
