This research aimed to assess the preferences of BRCA mutation carriers regarding risk-reducing surgical options.
Participants included BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutation carriers aged 25-50 without a history of specific cancers.
Discrete choice surveys were conducted based on age and mutation status.
A conditional logit model evaluated the influence of surgical options on participants' choices.
298 participants completed the survey, showing varying preferences based on age and mutation type.
Younger BRCA carriers preferred earlier risk-reducing surgeries than older cohorts.
Both BRCA1 and BRCA2 carriers showed distinct preferences for mastectomy and RRSO timing.
