Chemoprevention and prophylactic surgery are effective interventions for lowering breast cancer incidence.

The only preventive management strategy available in the third world is prophylactic surgery.
3
Utilities for the health states after prophylactic surgery were obtained from mutation carriers.
4
There was low uptake of prophylactic surgery for colorectal, endometrial, or ovarian carcinomas.
5
Assigning a syndromic diagnosis is important because it guides management, especially surveillance and prophylactic surgery.
6
Carriers may opt for prophylactic surgery and screening.
7
There are only preliminary data on the efficacy of increased surveillance and on risk reduction due to prophylactic surgery.
8
The individual patient's choice between prophylactic surgery and surveillance is a complex decision in which personal preferences weigh heavily.
9
However, recurrent imaging, restriction of exercise, β-adrenergic blockade, and prophylactic surgery remain effective in preventing dissection and sudden death.
10
These observations suggest that abnormal urinary tract function in infants with lipomeningocele may be reversible with early prophylactic surgery.

The possibility of the rapid growth of intradural lipomas offers additional support for early prophylactic surgery in patients with LMMC.
12
The pertinent English-language literature was reviewed to evaluate the risk of malignancy of MUTYH and the role of prophylactic surgery.
13
We were unable to find any factors differentiating bleeders from non-bleeders, although these results do not justify prophylactic surgery for oesophageal varices.
14
We evaluated the characteristics of BRCA mutation carriers who chose prophylactic surgery (PS) compared to those who opted for surveillance.
15
Once identified, individuals and their families may benefit from earlier, more intensified surveillance, prophylactic surgery, cancer risk assessment and education, and genetic testing.
16
This concept of prophylactic surgery based on a genetic test is likely to be applied more widely as the tools of molecular biology advance.
