Knowing my #momgenes means I know I’m at risk for other cancers; it means my kids have a 50% chance of inheriting the gene; it means it may have been too late to prevent cancer in me, but it’s not too late to prevent cancer inthem. ...
If you do not have a gene mutation, you may feel guilty if tests show you are not at risk but other family members are.What may healthcare providers recommend to help me prevent breast and ovarian cancer?Surgery is the most effective way to prevent breast and ovarian cancers. Talk with ...
If a tumour becomes aggressive, grows rapidly out of the enveloping tissue covering, with a potential to spread to other parts of the body, it is then called a malignant tumour or cancer. So, cancers are a type of tumour - the aggressive form of tumour. When such cell spread, they are...
They are in these vaccines because they’ve been studied as being gene therapy tools … They are perhaps not as frightening as what happened in the polio vaccine, which some people have attributed to causing some cancers in the past. It’s still a controversy in that field, but there’s ...

Recently, breast cancer subclassification has been aided by the discovery of various gene expression profiles, compiled after simultaneous examination of multiple tumour biomarker genes. Basal-like breast cancer was delineated using this methodology and demonstrates significant overlap with so-called triple ...
Having a BRA 1 or BRCA 2 gene predisposes a woman to breast cancer and - while it does not ensure that she will get breast cancer - her lifetime risk is 56%~85%. These genes also predispose to ovarian cancer and are associated with pancreas cancer, melanoma, and male breast cancer (...
In this Review, we describe the clinical features of patients with sporadic pituitary adenomas that are associated with AIP or MEN1 mutations, and discuss the molecular mechanisms that might be involved in pituitary adenoma tumorigenesis. We also discuss genetic screening of patients with sporadic ...
Non- genetic, sporadic breast cancers apparently could not be so easily dismissed. Less is known about what causes sporadic cancers, and a friend's nongenetic breast cancer might indicate something about the acquaintance's own risk. [Finding out that someone's breast cancer is genetic] makes ...
