In the UK, breast cancer is considered to be the most common form of cancer, with approximately 55,000 women diagnosed every year. The majority of cases are known to be of people at higher risk.
Background Breast Cancer incidence in the UK is estimated to rise to 71,000 per year by 2035. Preventative strategies could significantly reduce this. Preventative therapy reduces women's risk of oestrogen receptor positive breast cancer, but uptake remains low. Having established a preventative thera...
Breast cancer is the most common cancer in the UK. Nearly 55,000womenare diagnosed with the disease each year. But a large proportion of breast cancer cases occur in people who are at an increased risk. Cancer Research UK has helped to double breast cancer survival over the last 40 years....
The widely used Western BRCA mutation prediction models underestimated the risk of having a BRCA mutation in Korean breast cancer patients. This study aimed to identify predictive factors for BRCA1/2 mutations and to develop a Korean BRCA risk calculator. The model was constructed by logistic regres...

Since I’ve been diagnosed, I’ve lost 6 friends to cancer. I’ve written about this previously: The National Health Service in the UK has a model of calculating breast cancer survivorship based on a patient’s pathology. It is called Predict and the current version is 2.0. Sloan Kettering...
The C allele was found to be more common in case subjects than in control subjects (cases, 0.59; controls, 0.54) corresponding to a nominally significant increase in breast cancer risk to heterozygotes and CC homozygotes (odds ratio 1.51, 95% confidence interval 1.01–2.25) in the dominant ...
Thus, two pathologists from Shandong Cancer Hospital reevaluated the postoperative pathology of the 254 patients according to the requirements of the RCB evaluation system and input the data into the network calculator (www.mdanderson.org/breastCancer_RCB) to calculate the RCB index. Then, according...
