Abstract

Mutations in the recognized breast cancer susceptibility genes BRCA1, BRCA2, TP53, ATM, and CHEK2 account for approximately 20% of hereditary breast cancer. This raises the possibility that mutations in other biologically relevant genes may be involved in genetic predisposition to breast cancer. In this study, BRIP1, PALB2, and RAD51C were sequenced for mutations as a result of previously being associated with breast cancer risk due to their role in the double-strand break repair pathway and their close association with BRCA1 and BRCA2. Two truncating mutations in PALB2 (Q66X and W1038X), one of which is has not been reported before, were detected in an independent Australian cohort of 70 individuals with breast or ovarian cancer, and have strong family histories of breast or breast/ovarian cancer. In addition, six missense variants predicted to be causative were detected, one in BRIP1 and five in PALB2. No causative variants were identified in RAD51C. This study supports recent observations that although rare, PALB2 mutations are present in a small but substantial proportion of inherited breast cancer cases, and indicates that RAD51C at a population level does not account for a substantial number of familial breast cancer cases.

Mehr Lebenszeit mit Abemaciclib bei fortgeschrittenem Brustkrebs?

24.05.2024 Mammakarzinom Nachrichten

In der MONARCHE-3-Studie lebten Frauen mit fortgeschrittenem Hormonrezeptor-positivem, HER2-negativem Brustkrebs länger, wenn sie zusätzlich zu einem nicht steroidalen Aromatasehemmer mit Abemaciclib behandelt wurden; allerdings verfehlte der numerische Zugewinn die statistische Signifikanz.

ADT zur Radiatio nach Prostatektomie: Wenn, dann wohl länger

24.05.2024 Prostatakarzinom Nachrichten

Welchen Nutzen es trägt, wenn die Strahlentherapie nach radikaler Prostatektomie um eine Androgendeprivation ergänzt wird, hat die RADICALS-HD-Studie untersucht. Nun liegen die Ergebnisse vor. Sie sprechen für länger dauernden Hormonentzug.

Das sind die führenden Symptome junger Darmkrebspatienten

Darmkrebserkrankungen in jüngeren Jahren sind ein zunehmendes Problem, das häufig längere Zeit übersehen wird, gerade weil die Patienten noch nicht alt sind. Welche Anzeichen Ärzte stutzig machen sollten, hat eine Metaanalyse herausgearbeitet.

„Überwältigende“ Evidenz für Tripeltherapie beim metastasierten Prostata-Ca.

22.05.2024 Prostatakarzinom Nachrichten

Patienten mit metastasiertem hormonsensitivem Prostatakarzinom sollten nicht mehr mit einer alleinigen Androgendeprivationstherapie (ADT) behandelt werden, mahnt ein US-Team nach Sichtung der aktuellen Datenlage. Mit einer Tripeltherapie haben die Betroffenen offenbar die besten Überlebenschancen.
