BRCA1, BRCA2, cancer genetics, predictive testing in menBACKGROUND: Management strategies for women carrying BRCA1 and 2 mutations are becoming clearer and predictive testing for a known family mutation is commonly undertaken. Implications for men are not as clear and they participate less ...
According to aJAMA Oncologyreview articleby experts at Fred Hutch Cancer Center and University of Washington, newly developed national screening guidelines offer hope for identifying thecancer riskof BRCA mutations in men through genetic testing and tailored cancer screening. "Not enough men are getting...
New treatments were examined using cancer genome panel testing in a total of 31 Japanese male patients with advanced/metastatic breast cancer. As a result of cancer genome testing, two genes (BRCA1, BRCA2) belonging to the homologues recombination gene family with germline pathogenic variants (gP...
Recently, it was proposed that all individuals below 50 years of age with TN breast cancer should be offered BRCA testing. We have evaluated the BRCA1 mutation frequency and the implications for clinical practice of undertaking genetic testing in women with TN breast cancer. METHODS: We undertook...
BRCA1/2 testing rates increased with later years at diagnosis (log-rank P < 0.001 for women age ≤ 40 and women age 41-45; P = 0.01 for men). Men had lower testing rates than women age 41-45, who in turn had lower rates than women age ≤ 40. Furthermore, among women diagnosed...
Men appear to understand the importance of participating in this process. Methods of avoiding adverse reactions merit further study along with other aspects of the process. 展开 关键词: BRCA1, BRCA2, cancer genetics, predictive testing in men ...

Given the rapidly rising incidence of PCa in the prostate-specific antigen (PSA) testing era, retrospective absolute risk estimates may not be representative of the risks for mutation carriers currently seen in genetics clinics. Only two small prospective cohort studies of male BRCA1/2 carriers ...
