Abstract
BACKGROUND:
Since more than two decades Risk-reducing salpingo-oophorectomy (RRSO) is recommended and widely accepted by BRCA1/2 carriers as a method reducing ovarian cancer risk and improving survival rate. After RRSO, there remains a risk of breast cancer and peritoneal cancer. The characteristics of these neoplasms are not well known. In this study, we determined the selected parameters such as age at cancer diagnosis, time from RRSO to the diagnosis of cancer, and significance of BRCA1 mutation type in patients diagnosed with breast or peritoneal cancer during postoperative follow-up.
METHODS:
The material comprised of 195 BRCA1 carriers who performed RRSO between years 1999-2012. In this period, 16 patients developed cancer (6-primary breast cancer, 3-contralateral breast cancer, 5-relapse of breast cancer, 2-peritoneal cancer). They were subject of the further analysis.
RESULTS:
During the follow-up period mean age of patients after RRSO at the time of cancer diagnosis was 53.19. The mean age of patients diagnosed with primary breast cancer was 50, contralateral breast cancer - 58.67, recurrence of breast cancer - 51 and peritoneal cancer 60. The mean time periods from RRSO to the diagnosis of primary, contralateral, recurrence breast cancer were 53, 58.67 and 25,4 months respectively and of peritoneal cancer 46 months. BRCA1 c.5266dupC mutation carriers demonstrated significantly shorter time of cancer development compared to patients carrying c.181T > G and c.4035delA mutations. Peritoneal cancer was only observed in two c.181T > G BRCA1 mutation carriers.
CONCLUSIONS:
The mean age of cancer diagnosis and the mean time periods from RRSO to the diagnosis of cancer are similar to those observed by other researchers. The carriers of c.181T > G and c.5266dupC BRCA1 mutation should be the subject further studies in context of breast and peritoneal cancer risk or time of cancer development after RRSO, respectively.
