What Are the Preventive Measures for BRCA Mutation Carriers?
Preventive measures for individuals with BRCA mutations can include increased surveillance, chemoprevention, and risk-reducing surgeries. Enhanced screening protocols might involve more frequent mammograms and MRIs starting at an earlier age. Risk-reducing surgeries, such as prophylactic mastectomy or oophorectomy, can significantly reduce the risk of breast and ovarian cancers.
