Genetic diagnosis of cancer: diagnosis of mutations in BRCA1 and BRCA2 in breast cancer
During the last two decays the tremendous success in molecular biology and genetics which has surprised the entire world. So that today the sequencing of whole genome has been possible for each human individual to estimate its being affected with cardiovascular and cancer diseases. However, these achievements have some important limitations and deep ethical issues which might be ignored. Geneti...
متن کاملRisk assessment for hereditary breast cancer: BRCA1 and BRCA2.
The recent explosion of hereditary breast cancer genetic research has strengthened our understanding of genetic influences on health and disease. These scientific advances have significant implications for clinical oncology nurses and advanced practice nurses. In this paper, the Human Response to Illness Model (Mitchell, Gallucci, & Fought, 1991) is utilized to gain a comprehensive understandin...
متن کاملThe importance of BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes mutations in breast cancer development
Many factors including genetic, environmental, and acquired are involved in breast cancer development across various societies. Among all of these factors in families with a history of breast cancer throughout several generations, genetics, like predisposing genes to develop this disease, should be considered more. Early detection of mutation carriers in these genes, in turn, can play an import...
متن کاملEffect of mammography on breast cancer risk in women with mutations in BRCA1 or BRCA2.
Women who carry mutations in either the BRCA1 or BRCA2 genes are at risk for early-onset breast cancer and are recommended to begin screening mammography at age 25 to 30 years. Results of in vitro and animal studies suggest that BRCA1/BRCA2 mutation carriers are hypersensitive to ionizing radiation and possibly to radiation-induced breast cancer. This study was undertaken to investigate the ass...
متن کاملProtective effect of cigarette smoking on breast cancer risk in women with BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutations???
By reporting, in this issue of the Journal, a protective association of cigarette smoking and breast cancer risk among women with germline BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutations, Brunet et al. (1) have placed themselves at the intersection of several controversial currents in contemporary cancer research. Cancer genetics and genetic epidemiology are progressing at an exciting pace. However, understanding of ...
