Preventive Mastectomy Considerations Highlight BRCA Risks

Christina Applegate also chose the procedure in 2008. Genetic tests detect BRCA mutations, guiding counseling and action plans. The National Cancer Institute notes higher cancer risk with BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutations, but not all carriers develop cancer. Medical teams advise careful decisions and second opinions, especially for those with family history or high risk.
