Breast cancer genes and the surgeon.

Journal of surgical oncology - 1 Apr 1998

Mann G B, Borgen P I

Abstract excerpt

Two genes, called BRCA-1 and BRCA-2, have been identified that appear to be responsible for the majority of familial breast cancer syndromes. These genes now play a prominent role in the practice of the surgeon treating breast cancer. Additional genes, PTEN (Cowden disease), MSH1 or MLH2 (HNPCC), and p53 (Li-Fraumeni syndrome) are responsible for other breast cancer syndromes but have not yet entered the clinical...
