Roberto Borea: Early Breast Cancer in Young BRCA Carriers – From Diagnosis to Treatment and Survivorship

Roberto Borea, Postdoctoral Research at Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center-James Cancer Hospital and Solove Research Institute, shared a post on X about a paper he co-authored published on PubMed Central.

“Managing breast cancer in young BRCA carriers women is uniquely complex.

Our review highlights the critical need for a personalized, multidisciplinary approach to optimize treatment, long-term outcomes, and toxicities.

Take-home messages:

  • Early genetic testing enables earlier detection, smaller tumors, and better survival
  •  Fertility and pregnancy can be safely preserved. Evidence supports ART and post-treatment conception in BRCA carriers
  • MRI-based surveillance outperforms traditional screening in young patients
  • PARPi have significant efficacy in HRD tumors. More data needed for CDK4/6i and ICIs
  • Quality of life must guide survivorship care. Managing menopause, bone, and sexual health is integral to long-term wellbeing.”
