Breast cancer in Western Africa: A pilot molecular analysis of BRCA genes in early- onset breast cancer patients in Burkina Faso

2021-07-15

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p><bold>Background:</bold> Breast cancer (BC) is the most commonly diagnosed cancer and the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths, after cervical cancer, among women in Africa. Even if the epidemiological data are now aligned with those relating to industrialized countries, the knowledge concerning breast cancer in Africa, in particularly in Western Africa still lack clinical data...
