ONCOLOGY: Biological Link Between BRCA1 and Breast Cancer Detailed From: Hope Waltman (anonymous@obgyn.net) Wed, 23 Jan 2008 19:27:53 -0600 (CST) Messages sorted by: [ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ] Next message: Hope Waltman: "MENOPAUSE: Calcium Supplements Could Raise Heart Risks in Postmenopausal Women" Previous message: Dr. Herbert A. Goldfarb: "Re: YOUNGWOMEN: 16 y/o with small lumpy breasts, normal?" Biological Link Between BRCA1 and Breast Cancer Detailed Finding suggests the gene, when not mutated, helps repair damaged DNA "A newly discovered role played by the breast cancer gene BRCA1 in repairing damaged DNA may help explain why women who inherit a mutated version of the gene are more likely to develop breast and ovarian cancer. The finding, reported by Duke University Medical Center researchers, could also lead to more effective treatments for women with and without mutated versions of the gene, according the report in the Jan. 16 online edition of PLoS One. Women with a BRCA1 mutation are up to 80 percent more likely to develop breast cancer than other women, and are also more likely to develop the disease at a much younger age." http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/news/fullstory_60150.html Regards, Hope Waltman, Fibroid Forum and WH Forum Moderator http://www.hopeforfibroids.org http://www.doctorsinfoweb.com/doctors/whatsnew.htm Next message: Hope Waltman: "MENOPAUSE: Calcium Supplements Could Raise Heart Risks in Postmenopausal Women" Previous message: Dr. Herbert A.
