Prophylactic surgery is surgery performed in anticipation of the onset of a particular disease or condition in the organ or area of the body removed. Prophylactic surgery has been used by women with a family predisposition to breast cancer. Women in these instances may choose to have a mastectomy believing that their odds of getting breast cancer are unacceptably high.
