BRCA carriers had similar overall and breast cancer-specific survival with risk-reducing mastectomy or surveillance. Risk-reducing mastectomy reduced breast cancer incidence by 94% compared with ...
Carriers of the BRCA1 cancer gene had a significantly increased risk of breast cancer if they used hormonal contraception (HC), pooled cohort data showed. Breast cancer risk increased by 29% in BRCA1 ...
Thoracic Radiotherapy Improves the Survival in Patients With EGFR-Mutated Oligo-Organ Metastatic Non–Small Cell Lung Cancer Treated With Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor–Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors: A ...
People inherit two copies of each gene—one from each parent—an evolutionary fail-safe to ensure survival even when one of them doesn't function. For cancer-suppressor genes like BRCA1, researchers ...
An affordable new BRCA gene test has hit the market, but who should take it? — -- A new genetic testing kit that hits the market today is the most affordable, and arguably one of the simplest, ...
Harmful variants in the BRCA1 gene greatly increase a person's lifetime risk of developing breast, ovarian and pancreatic cancers, but most people are unaware they are carriers. In a new study in the ...
There is no single "right" approach to genetic testing. It's a personal decision, and what works for me may not work for others. What should be universal, however, is awareness. Men need to be more ...
People inherit two copies of each gene - one from each parent - an evolutionary fail-safe to ensure survival even when one of them doesn't function. For cancer-suppressor genes like BRCA1, researchers ...
SEATTLE — The BRCA gene is commonly recognized for its link to breast and ovarian cancer risk among women. Mutations in BRCA1 and BRCA2 have been associated with increased risk for the cancers, but ...
Strangely, I felt calm and prepared. I knew catching it early was key, and I knew about the range of treatment options ...
