Genomic instability in histologically normal breast tissues: implications for carcinogenesis.

Abstract excerpt

Breast cancer is an important contributor to morbidity and mortality in society, but factors that affect the cause of the disease are poorly defined. Genomic instability drives tumorigenic processes in invasive carcinomas and premalignant breast lesions, and might promote the accumulation of genetic alterations in apparently normal tissues before histological abnormalities are detectable. Evidence suggests that...
