Estimating the lifetime risk of ovarian cancer in Chinese women withBRCA1/2germline pathogenic variants (PVs) is of great importance for the clinical management ofBRCA1/2carriers. This cohort study recruited 9903 unselected Chinese breast cancer patients whoseBRCA1/2status was determined. Of these, 3984 probands completed family history questionnaires, which investigated the health status of their relatives, including 11,997 female first-degree relatives. The ovarian cancer risk ofBRCA1/2germline pathogenic carriers was estimated using the ovarian cancer history of proband first-degree female relatives via the Kin-cohort method. Of the 3984 probands, 126 (3.2%) carriedBRCA1PVs, and 183 (4.6%) carriedBRCA2PVs. The estimated cumulative risks of ovarian cancer by age 70 were 15.3% (95% CI 8.4–18.6%) forBRCA1carriers, 5.5% (95% CI 2.0–10.2%) forBRCA2carriers, and 0.4% (95% CI 0.3–0.7%) for noncarriers. The cumulative risks of ovarian cancer were very low before the age of 40 for bothBRCA1andBRCA2carriers and were an increase up to age 45. The cumulative ovarian cancer risk ofBRCA1carriers was approximately three times higher than that ofBRCA2carriers, andBRCA1andBRCA2carriers had 38- and 14-fold higher risks than non-BRCAcarriers, respectively. The findings indicate that Chinese women withBRCA1/2PVs have high risks of ovarian cancer in their lifetime, especiallyBRCA1carriers. These results are useful for devising optimal strategies to reduce ovarian cancer risk inBRCA1/2carriers.
