Abstract

The patient with confirmed hereditary cancer risk was admitted to the A.V. Vishnevsky National Medical Research Center of Surgery. A comprehensive genetic analysis revealed heterozygous germline mutation, located in coding exon 10 of the BRCA2 gene, associated with breast-ovarian cancer. Considering the patient’s young age, the cancer team referred her on immediate breast reconstruction after skin-preserving mastectomy. Histological examinations did not reveal any pathological changes indicative of malignant transformation. This case report emphasizes the significance of personalized treatment approach aimed at preventing BRCA-associated breast cancer in patients carrying hereditary mutations. Preventive surgery substantially reduces the risk of cancer, even in patients with genetically determined risks, and ensures a high quality of life.
