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

## Abstract Although there are several plausible biologic mechanisms whereby coffee consumption might influence the risk of breast cancer, epidemiologic evidence is limited. We assessed the association between coffee consumption and breast cancer risk among highβrisk women who carry __BRCA__ mutati
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
Two classes of inherited susceptibility genes may be considered in the etiology of breast and other common cancers. First, genes have been identified that confer a high degree of breast cancer (BC) risk, usually associated with hereditary syndromes, but disease-associated germline variants in these
