Risk factors for non-invasive lesions of the fallopian tube in BRCA mutation carriers (study of 173 BRCA mutation carriers)



Objective

To identify risk factors for the presence of a non-invasive lesion of the fallopian tube in women with a BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutation.

Conclusion

The prevalence of tubal p53 signature and TIC (a tubal intra-epithelial carcinoma (TIC))  increases with age at salpingectomy and with BMI. Oral contraceptive use is associated with a decrease in the prevalence of TICs.
