Preventive surgery is used to remove tissue that does not contain cancerous cells, but may develop into a malignant tumor. For example, polyps in the colon may be considered precancerous tissue and preventative surgery may be performed to remove them. Diagnostic surgery helps to determine whether cells are cancerous.
Preventive mastectomies are done most often on women in their 30s and 40s, but women at both ends of the age spectrum also have this surgery. In some cases, the decision to have this surgery depends on when a woman discovered her hereditary risk.
Positive genetic testing results: Genetic testing looks for gene changes (mutations), such as in the BRCA1 or BRCA2 genes. If you test positive for these mutations, you may choose to have a prophylactic mastectomy.
