New Genetic Link to Premenopausal Breast Cancer Discovered

Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women, with an estimated one out of every eight women expected to develop it in their lifetimes. While environmental factors like smoking, diet or lack of physical activity can lead to cancer, a person's genes also contribute to the risk of getting the disease. More...

New Biomarker Test Improves Diagnosis of Ovarian Cancer

Ovarian cancer is often discovered at a late stage and has a high mortality rate. Overall 5-year survival is only 30% to 40% after treatment, and there has been no test specific enough to justify screening. More...

Pathogenic Variant Carriers Missed by Current Genetic Testing

Current guidelines recommend genetic testing for people who have a personal or family history of cancer that indicates they might be at an increased risk of harboring a pathogenic familial variant, but this approach could miss people who lack any personal or family history. More...
