Genetic susceptibility for breast cancer: how many more genes to be found?

Critical reviews in oncology/hematology - 1 Aug 2007

Oldenburg R A, Meijers-Heijboer H, Cornelisse C J, Devilee P

Abstract excerpt

Today, breast cancer is the most commonly occurring cancer among women. It accounts for 22% of all female cancers and the estimated annual incidence of breast cancer worldwide is about one million cases. Many risk factors have been identified but a positive family history remains among the most important ones established for breast cancer, with first-degree relatives of patients having an approximately two-fold...
