This study looked at how often endometrial cancer occurred in people with BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutations to better understand how BRCA mutations affect the risk of endometrial cancer. The researchers also asked whether known risk factors for endometrial cancer impact the frequency of endometrial cancer in people with BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutations. Findings from the study highlight the importance of shared conversations between patients and providers regarding risk monitoring and preventive options. (posted 10/7/25)
