“…Four women opted for prophylactic bilateral mastectomy in order to avoid close post-operative follow-up. All decisions were approved by a multidisciplinary board of surgeons, oncologists, radiologists, psychologists and radiation oncologists (18,19). All patients had breast reconstruction, immediately in 14 cases and one year later in one case.…”

“…These findings are also consistent with our recent publication regarding the M. D. Anderson Cancer Center experience with contralateral prophylactic mastectomy in 239 patients with unilateral breast carcinoma. 13 In the contralateral prophylactic mastectomy study we found that patients who had concurrent DCIS and ipsilateral high-risk lesions (ADH and or LN) were more likely to have significant occult additional high-risk lesions and or carcinoma within the contralateral prophylactic mastectomy specimen compared with patients without concurrent ipsilateral high-risk lesions. 13 Breast-conserving surgery followed by wholebreast radiation therapy did not become the preferred treatment for DCIS at M. D. Anderson until the mid1990s, after publication of long-term results of randomized data by the NSABP.…”

“…Existing data suggest that contralateral risk-reducing mastectomy may diminish by as much as 95% the risk of developing breast cancer in moderate-and high-risk women, particularly in women with ipsilateral breast cancer or known BRCA1/BRCA2 mutation [2,5,6]. Using the Anderson model to predict the risk of developing contralateral breast cancer, McDonnell et al [7] estimated that contralateral risk-reducing mastectomy resulted in a risk reduction of 64%.…”
