Early identification of germline BRCA1/2mutations may be relevant for the management of patients with prostate cancer (PC) and to prevent future breast and ovarian cancers in their relatives. Several prediction tools have been developed to estimate the likelihood of a germline BRCA1/2mutation and are widely used to optimize screening in breast and ovarian cancer patients. We aimed to elucidate the proportion of PC patients with known BRCA1/2mutations who would have qualified for testing using two risk calculation models (BRCAPRO and the Manchester scoring system [MSS]). We analyzed 106 families with known BRCA1/BRCA2mutations, including 23 with PC cases. Only 30% and 48% of PC patients who were known BRCA1/BRCA2mutations carriers would have qualified for testing using BRCAPRO and MSS, respectively. A median of two breast and/or ovarian cancer cases per family had occurred between the first PC identified in a carrier and the cancer case leading to germline testing. |
