Extractions: Everyone of us has had a friend or relative concerned about their family history of breast cancer. This is totally understandable given that breast cancer is the commonest cancer in women and is the third most deadly cancer in men and women behind lung and colorectal cancer . What's more, with the media's emphasis on a woman's one in eight chance of developing breast cancer during her lifetime, an alarming figure, women should be concerned! But there are two pieces of good news. First, with the greater use of mammography and diagnostic techniques that permit diagnosis at earlier stages, the cure rate is improving. Second, the one in eight risk isn't as high as it seems. It's a lifetime risk, what we call cumulative risk, based on a woman living to the ripe old age of 110. A woman's risk at age 50, for example, is much lower, 1 in 50. (see Table 1)

Extractions: Home For Patients For Health Professionals Students ... Relation to Cancer Type The majority of lung cancers (90 percent) are due to cigarette smoking. A number of diverse genetic abnormalities have been identified in lung cancer cells. Some of these genetic abnormalities may be causal (i.e., responsible for initiating the development of cancer), while others may instead indicate the progression of the cancer. Not everyone who smokes will develop lung cancer. Studies have identified that normal genetic variations in the population, known as "polymorphisms," may make some individuals more likely to develop lung cancer if they smoke than other smokers (without the polymorphism). Genetic polymorphisms may also be important for nonsmokers. About one in six nonsmokers are exposed to tobacco smoke from smokers in their own homes. Certain genetic polymorphisms have been found to be associated with a statistically greater risk of lung cancer development, even in a person who has never smoked. This may explain why relatives of persons with lung cancer, regardless of whether they smoke or not, have an increased chance (about double the general population) to develop lung cancer. Additional studies are needed to better understand these gene-environment interactions. Print-friendly Version Glossary of Terms Get definitions for medical terminology relating to cancer.Â

What are the chances that my children could develop other kinds of cancer?" Answer "My aunt died of breast cancer at 49. I had breast cancer at 42. I have the BRCA1 gene, and had a prophylactic double mastectomy. My sister, who is 39, also has the BRCA1 gene. Should she, too, consider preventative surgery?" Answer "Why is psychological counseling a component of genetic testing?" Answer "Are genetics and hormone receptor status causally related? If you are hormone-receptor-negative, as I am, does this lessen the chances that the cancer is caused by your genetic background?" Answer "How does pregnancy affect breast cancer risk in BRCA1/2 mutation carriers?"

Extractions: More information about cancer The Cancer Genetics Network (CGN) is a national effort funded by the National Cancer Institute. The purpose of the Cancer Genetics Network is to help scientists and health care providers understand the causes of cancer, and to help them detect, prevent and treat cancer. The Network includes eight centers working together to create a registry, or list, of individuals at increased risk for cancer who are willing to learn about and possibly participate in future research projects developed through the Cancer Genetics Network. The Cancer Genetics Network will collect basic medical and family information on each participant. This information will be updated every year and may be useful in answering some basic research questions about cancer and genetics.
Valley Medical Center | Valley Breast Center | Cancer & Genetics The role of genetics in breast cancer. Valley Breast Center s cancer genetics Risk Assessment program helps you determine your cancer risk and develop http://www.valleymed.org/services/breastcenter/c_n_g.asp
Extractions: Description text for the benefit of search engines Skip Navigation Navigation Despite common belief, genetics play only a minor role in breast cancer. In fact, 80 percent of women diagnosed have no genetic link to the disease. Still, it's important to know your family history. With that information, a genetic counselor at Valley Breast Center can assess your risk and guide you through any additional testing necessary. You can request more information or schedule an appointment by calling Valley Breast Center at 425.656.5588. Cancer in families can sometimes be the result of altered genes passed from one generation to the next. Hereditary forms of breast, ovarian, and colorectal cancers are only a small number of all breast, ovarian, and colon cancers seen. Approximately 7 percent of breast cancers and 10 percent of ovarian and colon cancers are hereditary. A genetic counselor can explain the potential benefits, risks and limitations of genetic testing. Currently, blood sampling is available to identify genes that predispose an individual to breast, ovarian, and colon cancer, as well as other less common syndromes. This option is offered to those deemed appropriate for testing. All genetic testing is conducted in a manner that ensures patient privacy and confidentiality. Who benefits?
