In luminal HER2-negative early breast cancer with up to three involved lymph nodes, evidence-based multigene assays (e.g., Oncotype DX, MammaPrint, EndoPredict, Prosigna, Breast Cancer Index) have become available for accurate assessment of relapse risk. All these tests were developed and ...
diagnoses, for example, false-negative results of mammogram, undetectability of breast calcifications with ultrasound, unclear image caused by movement during MRI scanning, infection of blood testing, and cancer missing in fine needle aspiration biopsy if the needle is not placed among the cancer ...
A woman carrying BRCA gene has 50 % lifetime risk of developing breast cancer and this type of Breast Cancer tends to occur at younger ages. Who should undergo BRCA testing? This is an important question, which need to be properly answered, and people be made aware of this important ...

The nature of cancer cells and what makes cancer such a threat to us all is its ability to spread, hide, mutate and RETURN WITH A VENGEANCE. More and more doctors and survivors agree that being "cancer free" does not necessarily mean we are truly ever out of the woods. Some even renam...
Primary prevention Recent data have emphasized the role of previous benign pathology with atypia and (although to a lesser extent) even without atypia as a risk factor for breast cancer incidence [68]. ER and PgR testing A large single-institution experience suggests that equivocal ER staining bet...
Scientists used mathematical models to show that analysing genetic data, alongside a range of other risk factors, could substantially improve the ability to flag up women at highest risk of developing breast cancer. Their study showed that prevention strategies could be improved by testing not only ...
The long-term calibration of breast cancer risk models has important clinical implications. Arguably the main role of breast cancer risk assessment to date has been to triage women for genetic counseling and thereby guide their eligibility for genetic testing, preventive therapy, and screening modalitie...

testing of genome-wide associations with ROR-P and other prognostic features. However, genetic susceptibility to aggressiveness may be influenced by variants outside of those discovered in GWAS for overall breast cancer risk. Prior studies have estimated the heritability of ROR-P to be 13–21% in...
