  1. Note: Most cases underwent surgery after obtaining insurance coverage, but in some cases risk-reducing surgery was performed on a self-funded basis. All cases of RRSO have been performed so far, all within one year of HBOC diagnosis. CRRM was also performed in 3 cases, as the procedure was covered by insurance. Case 2 underwent breast cancer surgery and CRRM at the same time, followed by reconstruction, then RRSO after 2 months. In Case 3, RRSO revealed cancer in the ovary and fallopian tube, and radical surgery was performed later. Stage II ovarian cancer was diagnosed. This time, we introduce the eighth case, representing the first case in which breast surgery and ovarian/fallopian tube surgery were performed on the same day in our hospital
