Breast conservation surgery and radiation for a patient with synchronous primary breast cancers and BRCA1/BRCA2 positivity: is mastectomy required?
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 18 March 2011
Abstract
The role of breast conservation in patients expressing BRCA1 and BRCA2 genetic mutations is controversial. A patient who was found to have bilateral synchronous breast cancers and expressed a BRCA genetic mutation was recently evaluated. The patient had a strong desire for breast preservation. This case and a review of the pertinent literature are presented to discuss the role of breast conservation and radiation in patients with BRCA1 or BRCA2 genetic mutations.
