Hereditary breast cancer results from inherited mutations, primarily in BRCA1 and BRCA2, increasing lifetime cancer risk. Additional genes like TP53, PTEN, PALB2, CHEK2, and ATM also contribute to ...
Germ cell tumors (GCTs) are a heterogeneous group of neoplasms that predominantly affect adolescents and young adults. Notably, geographical disparities in GCT incidence exist, with higher rates ...
In a study published in Current Biology on August 14, Prof. Miao Wei's team at the Institute of Hydrobiology (IHB) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Prof. Zhang Jianzhi's team at the University ...
A Stanford Medicine study of thousands of breast cancers has found that inherited gene sequences may be powerful predictors of the breast cancer type that might develop decades later, and how deadly ...
Quality of care (QoC) measures among patients with high-risk non–muscle-invasive bladder cancer (HR-NMIBC) who are unresponsive to bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) treatment: A SEER-Medicare analysis.
While adherence to germline testing has been found to be low, one expert explained why tests findings could matter to patients. Undergoing germline testing is of particular importance for patients ...
Mutations in the BRCA1 gene that are either inherited (germline) or acquired (somatic) might not be key to the initiation of prostate cancer, as previously thought, suggests the first study of its ...
