Résumé

This study sought to determine the likelihood of occult malignancy during risk-reducing mastectomy in high-penetrance pathogenic variant carriers to help refine axillary staging recommendations. The authors performed a retrospective cohort study analyzing all female carriers of pathogenic variants in BRCA1/2, PALB2 or other genes who underwent prophylactic surgery at their institution between 2006 and 2021. Occult breast cancer was defined as the unanticipated presence of in situ or invasive malignancy on pathologic evaluation of prophylactic mastectomy specimens. Of 523 women, 243 carriers met the inclusion criteria for the study including 124 BRCA1 (51.0%), 108 BRCA2 (44.4%), and 11 PALB2, TP53, CDH1, or PTEN (4.6%) carriers. The median age was 44 years (interquartile range, 37-52 years). Overall, 128 women (52.7%) underwent bilateral prophylactic mastectomies, and 115 (47.3%) underwent contralateral prophylactic mastectomy. In the 371 mastectomies performed, 16 (4.3%) occult malignancies were diagnosed. Most of the occult malignancies were ductal carcinoma in situ (13 mastectomies, 3.5%), whereas 3 mastectomies (0.8%) contained invasive breast cancer. If Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System (BIRADS) 1-2 or BIRADS 3 findings were reported on preoperative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), the rate of occult malignancy decreased to 3.0 and 2.8%, respectively, per mastectomy. The patient-level factors associated with a likelihood of occult breast cancer greater than 10% included a history of prior breast cancer, age exceeding 60 years, and BIRADS 4 findings on preoperative imaging. Occult invasive malignancy was detected in less than 1% of the risk-reducing mastectomies performed for women with BRCA1/2 or PALB2 pathogenic variants. Sentinel lymph node biopsy can be safely avoided when BIRADS 1-3 findings are reported on preoperative MRI.

BACKGROUND BACKGROUND
This study sought to determine the likelihood of occult malignancy during risk-reducing mastectomy in high-penetrance pathogenic variant carriers to help refine axillary staging recommendations.
METHODS METHODS
The authors performed a retrospective cohort study analyzing all female carriers of pathogenic variants in BRCA1/2, PALB2 or other genes who underwent prophylactic surgery at their institution between 2006 and 2021. Occult breast cancer was defined as the unanticipated presence of in situ or invasive malignancy on pathologic evaluation of prophylactic mastectomy specimens.
RESULTS RESULTS
Of 523 women, 243 carriers met the inclusion criteria for the study including 124 BRCA1 (51.0%), 108 BRCA2 (44.4%), and 11 PALB2, TP53, CDH1, or PTEN (4.6%) carriers. The median age was 44 years (interquartile range, 37-52 years). Overall, 128 women (52.7%) underwent bilateral prophylactic mastectomies, and 115 (47.3%) underwent contralateral prophylactic mastectomy. In the 371 mastectomies performed, 16 (4.3%) occult malignancies were diagnosed. Most of the occult malignancies were ductal carcinoma in situ (13 mastectomies, 3.5%), whereas 3 mastectomies (0.8%) contained invasive breast cancer. If Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System (BIRADS) 1-2 or BIRADS 3 findings were reported on preoperative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), the rate of occult malignancy decreased to 3.0 and 2.8%, respectively, per mastectomy. The patient-level factors associated with a likelihood of occult breast cancer greater than 10% included a history of prior breast cancer, age exceeding 60 years, and BIRADS 4 findings on preoperative imaging.
CONCLUSIONS CONCLUSIONS
Occult invasive malignancy was detected in less than 1% of the risk-reducing mastectomies performed for women with BRCA1/2 or PALB2 pathogenic variants. Sentinel lymph node biopsy can be safely avoided when BIRADS 1-3 findings are reported on preoperative MRI.
