Brief Title
Prospective Cohort Study of Germline Variant Carriers With BRCA1 or BRCA2
Official Title
Prospective Cohort Study of Germline Variant Carriers With BRCA1 or BRCA2
Brief Summary
To determine the incidence and risk factors in the development of ovarian, fallopian tube, and peritoneal cancers in Japanese women carrying Breast Cancer Susceptibility Gene (BRCA)1/2 variants.
Detailed Description
1. To estimate the incidence of ovarian, fallopian tube and peritoneal cancers in women carrying BRCA1/2 variants. 2. To investigate risk factors concerning the development of ovarian, fallopian tube, and peritoneal cancers (loci of BRCA1/2 genetic variants, modifier genes, genetic polymorphism, hormones, and lifestyle habits.) in women carrying BRCA1/2 variants. 3. To estimate the detection rates of occult cancer based on histopathological evaluations, using risk-reducing salpingo-oophorectomy (RRSO). 4. To examine the risk-reducing effect of RRSO on the development of ovarian, fallopian tube, and peritoneal cancers in women carrying BRCA1/2 variants, and compare with those not undergoing RRSO. 5. To identify clinicopathological features in women carrying BRCA1/2 variants who had undergone RRSO. 6. To identify the appropriate interval or degree of surveillance.
Study Type

Primary Outcome

Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria: 1. Women carrying BRCA1/2 variants (those with either BRCA1 or BRCA2 variants, or those carrying both variants) and women carrying a variant of uncertain significance (VUS). 2.

Women previously diagnosed with ovarian, fallopian tube, or peritoneal cancer, and not excluding those with a personal history of breast cancer development. 3. Other individuals considered inappropriate for involvement in this study by the investigator.
