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.

## Abstract Cβreactive protein (CRP), a biomarker of inflammation, has been shown to be influenced by genetic variation in the __CRP__ gene. In this study, we test the hypothesis that genetic variation in __CRP__ influences both the risk of developing colon and rectal cancer and survival. Two popul
Twenty-one medical students with an average age of 23.3 +/- 1.5 years and no family history of large bowel cancer had a rectal biopsy taken for in vitro incorporation of tritiated thymidine (3HTdR). The number and position of labeled epithelial cells in this group was compared with an older control
