Hereditary Breast Cancer: What You Need to Know<\/strong><\/p>\n

What is hereditary breast cancer?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The hereditary breast cancer<\/strong> concerns cases where a woman (or even a man) inherits pathological mutations in specific genes that significantly increase the risk of developing cancer in the breast, ovaries, and in some cases in other organs, such as the pancreas or prostate.<\/p>\n

The most important genes involved are: BRCA1 and BRCA2,<\/strong> which are related to the Hereditary Breast Cancer Syndrome<\/strong> and Ovaries. Carriers of these mutations have a much higher risk of disease than the general population. There are also other, less common, mutations in genes such as TP53, PALB2, CHEK2, ATM, and PTEN<\/strong>, which are linked to specific hereditary cancer syndromes.<\/strong><\/p>\n
