Methods: Data on 430 BRCA+ mutation carriers diagnosed with OC between 2000 and 2017 in 6 medical centers (one in the USA and five in Israel) were analyzed. Data included demographics, breast surveillance type, family history, BRCA mutation types, timing of BC diagnosis (before or after OC diagnosis) and family history of cancer. Results: Median age at diagnosis of OC was 55.4 years (range, 31.3-90) and median follow-up was 4.6 years. Most patients were BRCA1 (66.6%), and 35.7% had 185delAG. Most patients (68.4%) were Ashkenazi Jews, 27.4% had a family history of BC and 16.5% were diagnosed with BC before OC. Five percent developed BC following OC diagnosis with a median time to BC diagnosis of 68 months (range, 11-210). Of those diagnosed with BC, 50% had triple-negative BC, 40% had luminal B ER+, PR-, Her2-neg and 10% had luminal A -ER+, PR+, her2-neg. There was a non-significant increase in BC after OC, and in BC prior to OC diagnosis; there was no correlation of BC with family history. No definite deaths from BC were recorded. Conclusions: The incidence of BC after OC diagnosis in the BRCA+ population at a median follow-up of 4.6 years is consistent with prior series. Prophylactic bilateral Surveillance measures should be re-evaluated in this population and may only be needed in long-term disease-free survivors and/or subpopulations to be identified. Clinical trial information: 07-146.
