Are there any preventive surgeries for high-risk individuals?
For individuals at high risk, such as those with a BRCA mutation, preventive surgeries like prophylactic oophorectomy (removal of the ovaries) and hysterectomy (removal of the uterus) may be considered. These surgeries can significantly reduce the risk of developing ovarian and uterine cancers. It's essential to have a thorough discussion with your healthcare provider about the risks and benefits.
