Abstract

Although BRCA1 and BRCA2 pathogenic or likely pathogenic variants are a well-established cause of hereditary ovarian cancer, recent studies have brought other homologous recombination repair pathway genes into the limelight. The current NCCN Guidelines reflect the most up-to-date, evidence-based data relating to the risk management of patients who are carriers of BRCA1/2 and/or other variants. Risk-reducing bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy is the current standard of care, but a recommendation for salpingectomy alone may be on the horizon.
