There are several strategies to reduce cancer risk in individuals with HBOC. These include:
Prophylactic Surgery: Preventive removal of breasts (mastectomy) and/or ovaries and fallopian tubes (salpingo-oophorectomy) can significantly reduce the risk of cancer. Medications: Drugs like tamoxifen and raloxifene may lower the risk of breast cancer in high-risk women. Lifestyle Changes: Maintaining a healthy diet, regular exercise, avoiding smoking, and limiting alcohol intake can contribute to overall cancer risk reduction.
