The role of prophylactic surgery in cancer prevention.

World journal of surgery - 1 Mar 2007

You Y Nancy, Lakhani Vipul T, Wells Samuel A

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Since the human genome has been sequenced many mysteries of cell biology have been unravelled, thereby clarifying the pathogenesis of several diseases, particularly cancer. In members of kindreds with certain hereditary diseases, it is now possible early in life to predict with great certainty whether or not a family member has inherited the mutated allele causing the disease. In hereditary...
