Galip Can Uyar: Prophylactic oophorectomy boosts survival by up to 50% in young women with BRCA mutations

Galip Can Uyar, Internal Medicine Specialist at Ankara Training and Research Hospital, shared a post on X:

“Prophylactic oophorectomy boosts survival by up to 50% in young women with BRCA mutations! This large international cohort study in The Lancet Oncology shows that risk-reducing surgeries significantly lower not just cancer risk, but mortality rates too.
