This review examines the prognostic benefits, prophylactic surgical strategies, and impact on quality of life of patients at very high risk of breast cancer. Breast surgical prophylaxis concerns women at high risk of breast cancer with a risk assessment based on their personal and family history, or by diagnosis of pathogenic variants in high-risk genes. Personalized management is based on enhanced clinical and radiological monitoring, the use of predictive tools such as BOADICEA, and surgical options such as prophylactic bilateral mastectomy, which can reduce the risk of cancer by over 90 %. Although its impact on overall survival is still debated, advances in surgical techniques have significantly improved aesthetic results and patient satisfaction, thanks to modern reconstruction methods. The surgical strategy, whether primary or secondary, must be individualized, considering the patient's history, therapeutic needs, and preferences. Mastectomy with preservation of the skin envelope, often performed in one or two stages, offers significant psychosocial benefits, although radiotherapy may increase the risk of complications.

For various bone sarcomas including osteosarcomas, chondrosarcomas and Ewing sarcomas, we delineate tumour presentation, management strategies, and follow-up within the context of cancer predisposition syndromes. The inherited predisposition syndrome, associated with germline TP53 variants, known as the Li-Fraumeni syndrome, is the most frequent implicated in osteosarcoma cases. Other cancer predisposition syndromes, such as RB1, RECQ or CDKN2A disorders in osteosarcomas and Ollier and Maffucci diseases in chondrosarcomas, are also recognized. Additionally, we discuss rarer cancer predisposition syndromes associated with bone sarcomas and suggest tailored treatment approaches in some cancer predisposition syndromes to mitigate severe toxicities or secondary oncological events. Furthermore, we emphasize the role of identification somatic molecular variations in identifying constitutional germline variants and describe national and international screening programs, reference networks and molecular tumour boards available for collegial and collaborative management discussion.
