Icro Meattini: Breast-Conserving Therapy is safe and effective for BRCA1/2 carriers

Icro Meattini, Associate Professor of Radiation Oncology at the University of Florence, shared a post on X:

“Breast-Conserving Therapy is safe & effective for BRCA1/2 carriers—no impact on OS or DMFS.

CBC risk (esp. in BRCA1) supports considering bilateral mastectomy.

Personalised decisions, early BRCA testing & expert counselling are key.”

Icro Meattini emphasized that breast-conserving therapy is a safe and effective option for BRCA1 and BRCA2 carriers, with no effect on overall or distant metastasis-free survival.

He also noted the importance of considering bilateral mastectomy, particularly in BRCA1 cases, and highlighted the role of early BRCA testing and personalized counseling.
