The role of DNA testing in breast, ovarian, and colon cancers.

The American journal of the medical sciences - 1 Mar 2003

Friedrich Christopher A

Abstract excerpt

A proportion of cases of breast and colon cancers are caused by inherited mutations that confer a greatly increased susceptibility to malignancy. Certain clinical features may help distinguish patients with a genetic cause for their cancer from the larger number of patients with sporadic tumors. A thorough family medical history is also necessary to identify those at high risk for developing cancer. Many of the...
