The demand for genetic testing of hereditary breast cancer genes such asandhas continued to increase with the lowering costs of testing, raised awareness in the general public, and implications for breast cancer treatment when a patient is identified as having a germline pathogenic variant. ...

Modan and colleagues[31] found that parity was protective against both breast and ovarian cancer for Ashkenazi Jewish BRCA mutation carriers with the most common mutations. Thus, BRCA1 mutation carriers may change their plans and opt for pregnancy sooner rather than later. Other possible ...
Conclusions and Relevance Genetic testing is a powerful tool that allows for the detection of BRCA and non-BRCA germline mutations in individuals with high risks of breast cancer, which in turn aids in the individualization of treatment. Given the magnitude of this disease, it is of great benefi...
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.
"Most women who receive a breast cancer diagnosis are not aware that they have a genetic mutation," says Metcalfe of the need for broader access togenetic testing. "We know from previous evidence that those who do have the BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutation should receive different treatment for their...
