Framingham risk score after risk-reducing salpingo-oophorectomy in women at risk for hereditary breast ovarian cancer: A controlled observational study.

11048 Background: Risk-reducing salpingo-oophorectomy (RRSO) effectively prevents ovarian cancer in BRCA mutation carriers and in women at risk for hereditary breast-ovarian cancer. RRSO induces immediate menopause, which may increase the risk of coronary heart disease (CHD). Our aim was to determine CHD risk using Framingham risk score and examine factors associated with this risk in women who had undergone RRSO compared to population-based controls.


METHODS
A sample of 326 (65% of invited) women who underwent RRSO after genetic counseling from 1980-2005 provided completed questionnaires, physical measures, and blood samples. Controls were 1,630 age-matched controls from the Norwegian Nord-Trøndelag Health Study (HUNT-2) (1995- 97).


RESULTS
Mean age in both the RRSO and control groups at survey was 54.4 years. Mean follow-up after surgery was 6.5 years (SD 4.4). The RRSO group had a more favorable CHD risk profile (higher education, more physical activity, less smoking, lower total cholesterol, higher HDL cholesterol, lower systolic blood pressure and lower BMI) and lower Framingham total score compared to controls (p<0.05). In multiple logistic regression analyses RRSO was inversely associated with Framingham 10-year risk ≥5% (Odds Ratio 0.49, 95% CI [0.34, 0.71] p<0.001).


CONCLUSIONS
In contrast to expectation, women at increased risk of hereditary breast ovarian cancer had a favorable CHD risk profile after RRSO compared to age-matched controls from the general population, and RRSO was associated with lower Framingham risk score. Follow-up time, self-selection of women seeking genetic counseling, changes in lifestyle after surgery and survival bias are possible explanations of this finding.
