Beth Dupree, tested me for a BRCA gene mutation that first day we met, and though she contacted the company she trusts most, Myriad Oncology, personally and put a rush on it, it wasn’t until two weeks later I found out I had tested positive for the BRCA1 gene mutation. In fact,...
Grounded theory was used to examine the phenomenon of adults choosing to have predictive genetic testing for HBOC. A sample of 19 women, ten ≤ 35 years old was recruited through community and internet support group announcements. Semi-structured interviews were conducted in-person, by telephone ...

For example, SOCS3 is an important downstream target gene of JAK/STAT3, and it inhibits JAK1, JAK2, and TYK2, which are important for the proteasome degradation of the gp130 receptor complex, thereby participating in the negative feedback regulation of the STAT3 signal in the normal steady st...
However, it has been found that germline BRCA2-mutated BC are often associated with copy number loss of the Rb1 gene, leading to CDK4/6 inhibitors resistance [12]. Therefore, the optimal therapy strategy for ER-positive, BRCA2-mutated BC is currently unclear. In addition, the BRCA2 ...
For gene expression analysis, the following genes were selected:c-MYC, AURKB, CDC20, EP300, MDM2, TP53, RB1, CHEK2, CDKN-1B, CDKN2A, BRCA1, BRCA2, RAD51, CDK2, CDKN1A, RAD9A, MRE11, ATR, BCL2, KLK3, AR, CDH1, CDH2, VIM, SNAI2, SNAI1, TWIST1, and ZEB1(TableS2). Thes...
(HER2low) BC that is responsive to novel HER2-targeted ADCs17. HER2lowis defined as HER2 IHC 1+ by itself or 2+ in the absence ofHER2gene amplification by ISH (in situ hybridization). The cut-off for the level of HER2 expression by IHC is only a crude estimation of those who may ...
BRCA1BackgroundTen patients with breast cancer and a breast cancer susceptibility gene 1 (BRCA1) mutation, who presented with stages I to III breast cancer between December 2006 and 2007, were treated with four cycles of neoadjuvant cisplatin, followed by mastectomy and conventional chemotherapy....
Alpelisib(Piqray) is a P13K inhibitor in pill form that can be used with fulvestrant in women with advanced HR+, HER2-negative breast cancer with a PIK3CA gene mutation. Sacituzumab govitecan(Trodelvy) is a monoclonal antibody with an attached chemotherapy drug. It is used to treat some adva...
in combination with abiraterone for the treatment of metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) when chemotherapy is not clinically indicated (EU only)and for BRCAm mCRPC (US and Japan);and as monotherapy for HRR gene-mutated mCRPC in patients who have progressed on prior NHA treatment...
