The Different Impact of <b><i>BRCA</i></b> Mutations on the Survival of Epithelial Ovarian Cancer Patients: A Retrospective Single-Center Experience

Abstract

<b><i>Objectives:</i></b> The objective of this study was to examine whether the oncologic outcomes of <i>BRCA1</i>-associated and <i>BRCA2</i>-associated ovarian cancers correlate differently. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> Genetic data and clinical characteristics were correlated with progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). <b><i>Results:</i></b> Data from 147 <i>BRCA</i>-mutated patients (119 <i>BRCA1-</i>positive and 28 <i>BRCA2</i>-positive) were analyzed. At a median follow-up of 69 months, the median PFS was 27.2 and 45.46 months for <i>BRCA1</i> and <i>BRCA2</i> patients, respectively (p = 0.03). Median OS was 77.23 and 111.47 months for <i>BRCA1</i> and <i>BRCA2</i> patients, respectively (p = 0.08). <b><i>Conclusion:</i></b><i>BRCA2</i> mutations confer PFS and a trend to OS advantage compared with the <i>BRCA1</i> mutation in <i>BRCA</i>-mutated epithelial ovarian cancer patients.
