People who learn that they carry worrisome BRCA1 mutations need better options to either prevent cancer from developing or intercept it at an early stage. This is particularly crucial for reducing ...
For cancer-suppressor genes like BRCA1, researchers have long hypothesized that a single healthy copy could still guard against tumor development. Yet women with one harmful BRCA1 mutation are far ...
This trial is for women who have changes to the BRCA1 gene but do not have cancer. It is looking at a new way to try and prevent breast cancer. People who have a very strong family history of certain ...
Lynparza significantly improves iDFS, DDFS, and OS in BRCA1/2 mutation-positive, HER2-negative high-risk breast cancer patients. The trial's six-year analysis shows consistent benefits across all ...
Background: Most, if not all, of the cellular functions of the BRCA1 protein are mediated through heterodimeric complexes composed of BRCA1 and a related protein, BARD1. Some breast-cancer ...
