MicroabstractThe number of contralateral risk reduction mastectomies (RRM) continues to rise, yet there is not a single unified set of guidelines related to which patients are most appropriate. We created and sent out a survey to members of the Senologic International Society (SIS). Results show that providers from many specialties and countries align with existing guidelines but have similar perspectives on areas that need further research. IntroductionThe number of contralateral risk reduction mastectomies (RRM) continues to rise.Despite the existence of many guidelines, there is no general consensus on which patients should be considered for RRM. This survey was distributed among various breast specialists with the goal of evaluating current practices, perspectives, and attitudes towards RRM.MethodsAn English-language survey containing ten questions was designed and distributed electronically to members of the Senologic International Society (SIS). The findings of this survey align with existing research and also provide areas for further investigation.ResultsThis survey demonstrates the different practices and viewpoints on RRM across various specialties and areas around the world. These variations highlight the need for uniform recommendations and further research to enhance patient outcomes and address the challenges of managing RRM patients.
