Risk‐reducing salpingo‐oophorectomy (RRSO) vs no RRSO according to BRCA mutation status

HGSC mortality: BRCA1 only

It is very uncertain whether risk‐reducing salpingo‐oophorectomy (RRSO) changes HGSC mortality: BRCA1 only compared with no RRSO according to BRCA mutation status (very low certainty).

Risk‐reducing salpingo‐oophorectomy (RRSO) vs no RRSO according to BRCA mutation status

Breast cancer mortality: BRCA1 only

It is very uncertain whether risk‐reducing salpingo‐oophorectomy (RRSO) changes breast cancer mortality: BRCA1 only compared with no RRSO according to BRCA mutation status (very low certainty).
