Eight categories of metaphors that women used surrounding BRCA gene testing were evident in the data, including those related to (a) knowledge is power; (b) gambling; (c) a journey; (d) a rollercoaster; (e) battle, disaster, or wreckage; (f) Pandoras box or a can of worms; (g) ...
People with mutations in the BAP1 gene (BRCA1-associated protein-1) are at a higher risk of developing mesothelioma after being exposed to asbestos. These genetic mutations can cause the disease to develop differently, which may affect overall survival. “I think eventually there will be some ...
my generation could get ahead of it with genetic testing. When a simple blood test I took at age twenty-seven revealed that I shared my mother’sBRCA1gene (the worst day of her

What are phyllodes tumors, and what would be the treatment for a patient with this type of cancer? Indicate whether the following statement is true or false. When treating breast carcinoma, the long-term results of total mastectomy with axillary lymph node dissection are much better than the re...
HER2-negative in women with a BRCA mutation.Along with a normal amount of HER2 protein, you have a mutation on the BRCA 1 or 2 gene. This can lead to abnormal cell growth. Triple-negative.This kind of breast cancer takes its name from things that your cancer cells are lacking. The cel...
Justice There is wide agreement that justice requires that "like cases be treated alike." However, this is a formal principle and leaves much to be determined. In discussions of discrimination in insurance based on genetic information, disagreement, and frequently, mutual incomprehension, mark ...
Precision medicine is much more targeted. Over years of research, scientists have learned more about the genetics behind how diseases start and how they behave. Many diseases are linked to gene changes. Thanks to the Human Genome Project, researchers now have a map of all the genes in the hu...

For many, 40 is the new 30, and 60 is the new 40. Much of this shift in mindset can be attributed to the ever-expanding field of aging research and its perceived infinite potential. “There’s a hypothesis that if you can manipulate the aging process, you could possibly forestall the ...
