Screening breast cancer patients for Norwegian ATM mutations
Get PDF483 Norwegian breast cancer patients were screened for six different ataxia telangiectasia mutated (ATM) mutations previously found to account for 83% of the disease alleles in Norwegian ataxia telangiectasia (AT) patients. Only one carrier was found. These results provide no evidence in favour of an excess risk of breast cancer associated with heterozygosity for classical AT mutations, but remain consistent with a maximum 2.4-fold increased risk. © 2000 Cancer Research Campaign http://www.bjcancer.co
20-Year Risks of Breast-Cancer Recurrence after Stopping Endocrine Therapy at 5 Years
Get PDFThe administration of endocrine therapy for 5 years substantially reduces recurrence rates during and after treatment in women with early-stage, estrogen-receptor (ER)-positive breast cancer. Extending such therapy beyond 5 years offers further protection but has additional side effects. Obtaining data on the absolute risk of subsequent distant recurrence if therapy stops at 5 years could help determine whether to extend treatment
