Clinical features and outcomes of germline mutation BRCA1 -linked versus sporadic ovarian cancer patients

Conclusion In conclusion, we found better overall survival for ovarian cancer patients with BRCA1 germline mutations in comparison with patients without these mutations (sporadic) ovarian cancer. Thus, BRCA1 germline mutations appear to be an independent prognostic factor for ovarian cancer.
