Women with BRCA1 gene mutations have about 30 to 40 times higher risk of ovarian cancer compared to the population risk (the lifetime risk of BRCA1-dependent ovarian cancer is about 40 percent). Because of the high risk BRCA1 mutations carriers at the age of about 40 are recommended prophylactic salpingo-oophorectomy (after completion of reproductive plans). After the surgery there is still a r...
