Survival analysis of cancer risk reduction strategies for BRCA1/2 mutation carriers.
J Clin Oncol. 2010; (2): 222-31
Women with BRCA1/2 mutations inherit high risks of breast and ovarian cancer; options to reduce cancer mortality include prophylactic surgery or breast screening, but their efficacy has never been empirically compared. We used decision analysis to simulate risk-reducing strategies in BRCA1/2 mutation carriers and to compare resulting survival probability and causes of death.
