Annexectomie bilatérale de réduction de risque : pour qui, comment et quels résultats ?
Currently, the main means of diagnosing ovarian cancer at an early stage involve risk prediction, prevention and screening in patients identified as being at genetic risk. Our aim is to identify patients who may benefit from bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy for risk reduction purposes, as well as the modalities for its realization. We list the genes associated with ovarian cancer predisposition, their frequency in the general population, the risk of patients carrying these genes developing ovarian cancer, and the risk-reducing surgical procedures associated with each gene.
