Abstract in brief
- The study aimed to compare survival rates between women with BRCA-related breast cancer who underwent either a bilateral mastectomy or a unilateral mastectomy.
- Out of 390 women followed for up to 20 years, those who had a contralateral mastectomy had a significantly higher 20-year survival rate (88%) compared to those who had only unilateral mastectomy (66%).
- While the initial analysis showed a 48% reduction in breast cancer death risk linked to contralateral mastectomy, further adjusted analysis did not find this association significant, suggesting that more research is needed.
