Breast cancer risk is greatly increased in women who carry mutations in the BRCA1 or BRCA2 genes. Because breast cancer initiation is different between BRCA1/2 mutation carriers and women who do not carry mutations, it is possible that the mechanism of breast cancer progression is also different. Hi
The recent discovery of the breast cancer-associated genes BRCA1 and BRCA2 has changed the clinical care provided to women at high risk of breast cancer. We will review what is currently known about the clinical management of patients who bear (or are suspected of bearing) mutations in either of the
Incidence of breast cancer in Indian women is not as high as in Western countries, nonetheless age-adjusted incidence rates (AAR) have risen from 17.9 to 24.9 per 100,000 from 1965 to 1985. Although these rates are still approximately one quarter to one third of incidence rates in North America and
The genetic changes underlying the development and progression of male breast cancer are poorly understood. Germline BRCA2 mutations account for a significant part of male breast cancer, but the majority of patients lack a known inherited predisposition. We recently demonstrated that the progression
