Twelve pedigrees which show clustering of breast/ovarian cancer among female relatives are analyzed from a medical-genetic standpoint. The significant linear decline in estimates of cumulative breast/ovarian cancer risk to females with diminishing genetic relationship to probands and index cases, pl
## BACKGROUND. In contrast to female breast carcinoma, information regarding the prevalence and prognostic information of new molecular markers is limited in male breast carcinoma. The objective of this study was to assess the degree of expression and prognostic value of estrogen receptors (ER), pr
