"It was kind of an exciting and hopeful message that women don't have to go off to get a mastectomy to do better," said Dr. E.

Doctors already discuss with those women whether they want immediate surgery to remove their ovaries and breasts, or if they want to start a family first and hold off on ovary removal.
