Recently, our lab, part of a referral center in Italy, reported its experience regarding the execution of germline BRCA1/2 (gBRCA) testing during the first months of the coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, which highlights a substantial reduction (about 60%) compared with the first...
Presymptomatic DNA testing for autosomal dominant hereditary breast/ovarian cancer (HBOC) became an option after the identification of the BRCA1 andBRCA2 genes in 1994-1995. Healthy female mutation carriers have a high lifetime risk for breast cancer (56-87%) or ovarian cancer (10-60%) and ...
Although mastectomy is the standard treatment modality for breast cancer patients in Ethiopia, our previous study revealed that one in five patients do not receive the recommended procedure, half due to patient refusal or lack of returning to the hospita

Once they’ve identified as testing, we test them. Now, not everybody is gonna test positive. And the thing that’s really important to remember is, you can have a high risk of hereditary cancer because you carry a gene like BRCA1 or BRCA2. Or you can have a high risk of familial...

Women at higher risk of breast cancer should consider starting to get mammograms before age 40. You may be at higher risk for many reasons, including a family history of breast cancer, a genetic mutation that can increase your risk (such as the BRCA1, BRCA2, or PALB2 gene), or a ...
In principle, testing for relatively high penetrant genes, such as BRCA1 or BRCA2 (indicating a lifetime risk of developing hereditary breast cancer of between 60 to 85%), could be regarded as a form of susceptibility testing, and, most notably, in the United States the term 'susceptibility...
Prevent disease.Once you know you carry a certain gene, you may be able to make lifestyle changes or get medical treatment so you don’t get sick. For example, women who carry the BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene mutation are at higher risk forbreast cancer. To lower their risk, they may choose...
