研究表明,大风险乳房切除术每年可预防6 500例英国乳腺癌病例。 Study suggests wide-risk mastectomies could prevent 6,500 UK breast cancer cases yearly.

伦敦卫生与热带医学学院和伦敦大学玛丽皇后学院的一项研究表明,如果向30-55岁有35%或更高终生乳腺癌风险的妇女提供降低风险的乳房切除术,联合王国每年可预防6 500例乳腺癌病例。 A study from the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine and Queen Mary, University of London suggests that offering risk-reducing mastectomies to women aged 30-55 with a 35% or higher lifetime risk of breast cancer could prevent around 6,500 cases annually in the UK. 目前,这类外科手术主要是针对具有诸如BRCA1或BRCA2等特定基因的人。 Currently, such surgeries are mainly for those with specific genes like BRCA1 or BRCA2. 研究人员称这一方法具有成本效益,但指出缺乏长期的寿命质量数据。 The researchers claim this approach is cost-effective but note a lack of long-term quality-of-life data.
