Abstract Introduction: Germline testing for BRCA1/2 genes provides an opportunity to reduce mortality and morbidity by adopting appropriate risk reduction and screening options, in particular with risk-reducing bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy (BSO).There is a paucity of data on Latinas and prophylactic measures among BRCA1/2 carriers.Existing studies are limited either by the small number of Latinas, or limited to a specific geographic location.Factors related to decision making have also not been evaluated. Methods: The UPTAKE study is an observational study of Latinas with germline BRCA1/2 mutations.Subjects were recruited nationally and, by telephone interviews, reported uptake of prophylactic surgeries (BSO, bilateral mastectomy in unaffected women, and contralateral mastectomy in carriers with breast cancer (BC)). Women with ovarian cancer were ineligible. All women had to have been informed that they carried a deleterious BRCA1/2 mutation at least 1 year prior to completing the interview. The objectives of this study are: 1)to examine the rate of uptake of prophylactic surgeries; 2)identify acculturation and attitudinal factors related to decisions made and 3)examine relationships between primary language, receipt of genetic counseling (GC) and in which language it was provided and uptake of prophylactic surgeries. We plan to enroll 100 participants. Results: As of 6/11/2017, 86 telephone interviews have been conducted. We anticipate that all 100 interviews will be completed by July 2017. 51.2% (44/86) of participants completed the interview in Spanish. Our population was diverse in terms of country of origin: 50.0% (43/86) were born in the US, 22.1% (19/86) in Mexico, 11.6% (10/86) in Puerto Rico, 4.6% (4/86) in El Salvador, 3.5% (3/86) in Ecuador and 8.1% (7/86) in other countries of Latin America. 30% (26/86) of the participants reported an annual household income inferior to $50.000. Only 26.7% (23/86) of women reported having a graduate degree. Approximately one quarter of participants were unemployed at the time of study participation (26.7%, 23/86). 34.9% (30/86) were unaffected and 62.8% (54/86) were affected with BC. 73.3% (63/86) of participants reported having received formal GC, of which only 28.6% (18/63) was conducted in Spanish. 66.3% (57/86) of women opted to undergo BSO and 58.1% (50/86) underwent prophylactic mastectomy. Being born outside the US and currently working were associated with higher uptake of BSO. Multivariate analysis will be performed once all interviews have been completed. Conclusions: To our knowledge this is the largest study that evaluates uptake of prophylactic measures in Latinas known to be BRCA1/2 carriers. Our study included a heterogeneous group of participants in terms of country of origin, income and level of education including English knowledge. It was conducted across various academic and community centers in the country. The uptake of prophylactic surgeries among Latinas with germline BRCA mutations seems to be slightly lower than what has been reported in non-Hispanic whites (71-74%) but higher than in African Americans (32-50%). Results and factors associated with decision making will be updated once the total number of participants is enrolled.
