Abstract P3-09-02: Unhealthy lifestyle patterns are prevalent in unaffected BRCA mutation carriers & are associated with increased oxidative stress and telomere length alterations

Conclusion:This study has demonstrated that pre-operative MRI leads to additional investigations. Its impact on management is low if the lesion is mammographically occult but visible on ultrasound. In cases with ultrasound occult cancer and those with lobular features on core biopsy, it changes management in a significant proportion and should therefore be considered as a part of the diagnostic work-up.Citation Format: McGarrigle SA, Guinan EM, Hussey J, O'Sullivan J, Boyle T, Hanhauser Y, Al-azawi D, Kennedy MJ, Gallagher DJ, Connolly EM.
