Key clinical point: Contralateral prophylactic mastectomy (CPM) did not offer any survival benefit to patients with triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) irrespective of the presence of BRCA mutations.

Major finding: The 5-year overall survival did not significantly improve with vs without CPM in the entire population of patients with TNBC (P = .05) and in the subgroups of patients with (P = .35) and without (P = .12) BRCA mutations.

Study details: Findings are from a multi-institutional database study including 796 patients with TNBC, of which 15.5% of patients underwent CPM.

Disclosures: This study did not receive any funding. The authors declared no conflicts of interest.
