Women with breast cancer who carry BRCA mutations must also consider risk-reducing salpingo-oophorectomy (RRSO). Sixty-two patients who knew their mutation carrier status before undergoing breast cancer surgery were given the option to undergo combined breast and RRSO surgeries. Coordinating RRSO with breast surgery is associated with longer operating times and hospital stays without an increase in complications. Background: Women with breast cancer who carry BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutations must also consider risk-reducing salpingo-oophorecfomy (RRSO) and how to coordinate this procedure with their breast surgery. We report the factors associated with coordinated versus sequential surgery and compare the outcomes of each. Patients and Methods: Patients in our cancer risk database who had breast cancer and a known deleterious BRCA1/2 mutation before undergoing breast surgery were included. Women who chose concurrent RRSO at the time of breast surgery were compared to those who did not. Results: Sixty-two patients knew their mutation carrier status before undergoing breast cancer surgery. Forty-three patients (69%) opted for coordinated surgeries, and 19 (31%) underwent sequential surgeries at a median follow-up of 4.4 years. Women who underwent coordinated surgery were significantly older than those who chose sequential surgery (median age of 45 vs. 39 years; P =.025). There were no differences in comorbidities between groups. Patients who received neoadjuvant chemotherapy were more likely to undergo coordinated surgery (65% vs. 37%; P =.038). Sequential surgery patients had longer hospital stays (4.79 vs. 3.44 days, P =.01) and longer operating times (8.25 vs. 6.38 hours, P =.006) than patients who elected combined surgery. Postoperative complications were minor and were no more likely in either group (odds ratio, 4.76; 95% confidence interval, 0.56-40.6). Conclusion: Coordinating RRSO with breast surgery is associated with receipt of neoadjuvant chemotherapy, longer operating times, and hospital stays without an observed increase in complications. In the absence of risk, surgical options can be personalized.
