Hereditary breast cancer results from inherited mutations, primarily in BRCA1 and BRCA2, increasing lifetime cancer risk. Additional genes like TP53, PTEN, PALB2, CHEK2, and ATM also contribute to ...
Thoracic Radiotherapy Improves the Survival in Patients With EGFR-Mutated Oligo-Organ Metastatic Non–Small Cell Lung Cancer Treated With Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor–Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors: A ...
The prevalence and spectrum of predisposing mutations among children and adolescents with cancer are largely unknown. Knowledge of such mutations may improve the understanding of tumorigenesis, direct ...
From 7% to nearly 9% of patients with advanced cancer were found to harbor a germline variant with targeted therapeutic actionability in the first study of its kind. The study involved 11,974 patients ...
Coordinated germline and tumor panel testing was feasible and revealed P/LP CPG variants in 6.3% of the Pediatric MATCH cohort. Tumor variant fraction, germline association of CPG with tumor type, and ...
An expert spoke with CURE® about the importance of information that can be gained from genetic testing for patients with breast cancer. Germline testing, or genetic testing of the DNA that a person ...
Most cancer genome studies have focused on mutations in the tumor itself and how such gene variants allow a tumor to grow unchecked. A new study takes a deep dive into inherited cancer mutations ...
