BACKGROUND: In total, 5-10% of all breast cancer cases are related to gen mutations. In most cases a mutation in the BRCA1-gen and BRCA2-gen is responsible for insufficient repair of DNA damages that cause breast and ovarian cancer. CLINICAL MANAGEMENT: In patients carrying BRCA1-mutation the risk for developing breast and ovarian cancer is 87% and 40% as well as 47% and 20% for those carrying a BRCA2-mutation. Women at hereditary risk should be informed about existing recommendations for surveillance. Primary prevention of breast and ovarian cancer including prophylactic surgery (bilateral salpingoophorectomy and bilateral mastectomy) should be explained to mutation carriers. The issue of oral antihormonal therapy for prevention of breast cancer should be addressed. Psycho-social support should be offered to mutation carriers. CONCLUSIONS: The clinical management of BRCA1 and BRCA2-mutation carriers is very challenging and should be done in centres specialized in this issue.
