distinguish in from p53 signatures, STIL and invasive carcinoma. All statistical analysis was performed by Stata/IC 13.0 for Windows. Result(s)* A total of 115 were included. Of them, 50.4% had BRCA 1 mutation and 49.6% BRCA 2 mutation. Mean (+/-Standard deviation, SD) age at surgery was 49.2 (5.8) years. Of note, 40.9% underwent surgical menopause. The median Ca-125 value prior to surgery was 29.4 u/L. Adnexal findings in presurgery ultrasound were normal (104, 90.4%) or benign cyst (11, 17.4%). Also, endometrial polyps were found in 3.5% (3) of patients. Pathologic exam showed STIC in 5 (4.5%) patients and invasive ovarian carcinoma in 1 (0.9%). Conclusion* Currently, RRSO is the only tool to reduce the risk of ovarian cancer in BRCA mutations carriers. However, the incidence of STIC after RRSO is not very high.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
