BRCA Gene Mutations & Risk of Breast/Ovarian Cancer - Insidermedicine IN Depth
Surgery that removes the breast tissue or ovaries appears to reduce the risk of cancer, cancer-related death, and even death from any cause among women who are genetically susceptible to breast and ovarian cancer, according to research published in the Journal of the American Medical Association. Here is some information about the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes and cancer risk: • Both of these genes are involved in suppressing cancer, and those who carry harmful mutations of these genes are at increased risk for bCollected in Libby's H*O*P*E* Sep 1, 2010 -
Study Shows Preemptive Removal Of Breasts, Ovaries In Women Can Sharply Reduce Risk Of Cancer, Death
Preemptive removal of breasts or ovaries in women with two common breast cancer genes can sharply reduce the risk of contracting cancer and dying, according to a Los Angeles Times report, which cited a new study, even if the woman has already been diagnosed with breast cancer. Research were already confident that similar surgeries reduce the risk of cancer but the new study reported in the Journal of the American Medical Assn. is the largest investigation to date and is the first to actually differentiate tCollected in Libby's H*O*P*E* Sep 1, 2010 -

PARP Inhibitors: Professor Hilary Calvert discusses his work on PARP inhibitors
Prof Calvert speaks about his current work at UCL developing phase I and translational research in addition to working with the UCL bioscience department to develop novel cancer treatments. Prof Calvert then explains the background to his important work developing PARP inhibitors and outlines how these drugs are likely to be effective in some tumours that do not have the non BRCA mutation but do show BRCA-like phenotypes. Possible future developments include the use of PARP inhibitors as a chemo-preventativCollected in Libby's H*O*P*E* Jul 20, 2010 -
