🔬 A new study presented at the 2024 San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium suggests that risk-reducing surgeries can improve survival for young BRCA carriers with a history of breast cancer. Among BRCA carriers with early breast cancer, risk-reducing surgeries (breast and/or ovaries) were found to:

- Reduce the chance of new breast and/or ovarian cancer
- Lower mortality risk
