Women W ith BRCA1 Mutations at Higher Risk for Endometrial Cancers.
- Authors
Osterweil, Neil
- Abstract
The article discusses research on the cancer risks for women with BRCA1 mutations. It references a study by Catherine A. Shu et al, published in the June 30, 2016 issue of "JAMA Oncology." Topics covered include the increased risk of endometrial cancers for women who undergo risk-reducing ovary and fallopian tube removal without concomitant hysterectomy, and a review of the tumors to determine if the risk is linked to a history of breast cancer or exposure to tamoxifen.
