NOTE. Parameters, varied from base case to lower and upper cases, are BC and OC risks by age 70 years owing to BRCA1/2 mutations (BC by 70 years, OC by 70 years), MRI sensitivity for BC detection, and HR for BC development after premenopausal PO; interventions evaluated are S, PM, and/or PO.

Abbreviations: BC, breast cancer; ER, estrogen receptor; HR, hazard ratio; MRI, magnetic resonance imaging; OC, ovarian cancer; PM, prophylactic mastectomy; PO, prophylactic oophorectomy; S, screening.

*

S consists of mammography and MRI annually, according to national practice guidelines24,51; it is initiated at age 25 years and continued through age 69 years unless PM occurs, after which time breast S stops.

Prophylactic surgeries (PM and/or PO) are performed at age 40 years in these scenarios.

MRI sensitivity varied in sensitivity analysis by adjusting the tumor size detection threshold between 0.3 cm (90% sensitivity) and 1.53 cm (50% sensitivity).

§

In the base case, the HR for BC is 0.50 after PO is performed between ages 40 and 50 years, as described in Table 1.
