Abstract excerpt

The identification of BRCA1 and BRCA2, the two known genes causing a dominantly inherited susceptibility for breast and ovarian cancer has allowed genetic testing and identification of high risk individuals in a proportion of breast cancer families. In the future, when both the surveillance methods and prophylactic measures will be further developed this will have even more important clinical value in the...
