This consideration leads to the idea of creating a minimally invasive approach for breast cancer risk assessment based on ex vivo blood tests by examination of the specific molecular/expressional patterns in circulating leucocytes. The OVERALL TASK: Multimodal diagnostic approaches, disease specific ...
BRCA1 C-terminal (BRCT), and DNA-binding domains, large genomic rearrangements, and founder mutations in bothBRCAgenes;7,20however, validation is required before these data can be used for clinical risk assessment.

areBRCA1/2mutation-negative. In these women, single or multiple low penetrance and/or moderate penetrance genetic variants may be responsible for an increased risk of breast cancer. Currently, genotyping of common breast cancer risk variants are not incorporated into breast cancer risk assessment ...
Patients with breast cancer receiving chemotherapy are at risk of developing toxicities which can be severe or life threatening. The aim of this study was to develop and test a side effect risk modeling tool (ASyMS -SERAT) for use in patients with breast cancer undergoing adjuvant chemotherapy....
this is at the risk of potentially significant harms including overdiagnosis with overtreatment, and psychological morbidity associated with false positives. In risk-stratified screening, individualised risk assessment may inform screening intensity/interval, starting age, imaging modality used, or even decisi...
We tested the hypothesis that body mass index (BMI) aged 20 years modifies the association of adult weight gain and breast cancer risk. Methods We recruited women (aged 47–73 years) into the PROCAS (Predicting Risk Of Cancer At Screening; Manchester, UK: 2009–2013) Study. In 47,042 wo...
assessment. We used an FDA-approved CAD software for identifying microcalcification clusters with malignant potential. Some of these microcalcifications were likely found in blood vessels and not in the breast tissue. However, given the quite substantial risk of breast cancer seen in women with ...
Given this, future trials could assess the impact of offering a MDPP around the time of breast screening to increase coverage of CVD and T2D risk assessment and whether a one-stop shop can increase NHS efficiency and potential uptake to the NHSBSP. Dietitians delivered the test programmes. ...
