Abstrakt: It is well known that patients with EC after at least 5 years tamoxifen use are at increased EC mortality risk compared with never users (hazard ratio = 1.59, 95% confidence interval = 1.13 to 2.25) ([3]). In our opinion, we should start today to consider EC and especially p53-abnormal EC and serous-like EC part of the hereditary breast and ovarian cancer syndrome caused by I gBRCA1/2 i mutations. But most of all, we are pleased with their support of our statement that, given the increased risks of I gBRCA1/2 i mutation carriers to develop p53-abnormal (11- to 12-fold) and serous-like endometrial cancer (8- to 10-fold) presented in our article, endometrial cancer (EC) and especially p53-abnormal and serous-like EC should be considered part of the hereditary breast and ovarian cancer syndrome caused by a I gBRCA1/2 i mutation.
