NGS Panels applied to Hereditary Cancer Syndromes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Cancer is among the leading causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide (Okur et al, 2017). Germline pathogenic variants for monogenic, highly penetrant cancer susceptibility genes are observed in 5%–10% of all cancers (Lu et al, 2014).

Skin Cancer Predisposition Genes, Full‐Body Skin Examinations, Familial Disclosure, and Genetic Testing Among High‐Risk Individuals

open access: yesInternational Journal of Dermatology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background There is a lack of knowledge in full‐body skin examinations (FBSEs) in the context of pathogenic or likely pathogenic variants (PV/LPV) in skin cancer predisposition genes (CPGs). This study assessed the association between carrier status of PV/LPV in skin CPGs and FBSEs and described the patterns of family letter receipt, familial ...

Plasmatic Profiling of Individuals With Combinations of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, Dyslipidemia and Periodontitis: A Cross‐Sectional Study

open access: yesOral Diseases, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aim The objective of this study was to investigate the global profile of plasmatic proteins of individuals affected simultaneously or not by type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM, well/poorly‐controlled), Dyslipidemia (DL), and Periodontitis (P). Methods Besides periodontal examination, plasma was collected for glycemic, and lipid analyses from 150 ...

Breast Cancer Gene, BRCA1 and BRCA2

open access: yesJournal of Korean Breast Cancer Society, 2003
Hereditary predisposition to breast and ovarian cancer and responsible for autosomal-dominant transmission, most commonly due to germline mutations in BRCA1 and BRCA2 has been recognized for many years. Hereditary breast cancer is characterized by early age at onset, bilaterality, vertical transmission through both maternal and paternal lines, and ...

An Update on Early‐Onset Breast Cancer: Incidence, Risk Factors, Genetic Testing, and Treatment

open access: yesComputational and Systems Oncology, Volume 6, Issue 1, December 2026.
ABSTRACT Early‐onset breast cancer presents in patients typically under the age of 40, while very early‐onset breast cancer is usually viewed as breast cancer occurring before the age of 35. Early‐onset breast cancer demonstrates specific molecular properties and has worse outcomes compared to its late‐onset breast cancer counterpart.

Population testing for cancer predisposing BRCA1/BRCA2 mutations [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Background: Technological advances raise the possibility of systematic population-based genetic testing for cancer-predisposing mutations, but it is uncertain whether benefits outweigh disadvantages.

Oxidative Stress in the Tumor Immune Microenvironment: Mechanisms and Therapeutic Perspectives

open access: yesMedComm – Oncology, Volume 5, Issue 2, June 2026.
Oxidative stress is involved in several key processes in cancer, including redox regulation, DNA damage, post‐translational modifications, transcriptional regulation, epigenetic modifications, metabolic reprogramming, cell death, and immune modulation. These mechanisms collectively influence tumor progression, immune evasion, and therapeutic responses,

Oncofetal Biology: From Fundamental Mechanisms to Emerging Therapeutic Opportunities

open access: yesMedComm – Oncology, Volume 5, Issue 2, June 2026.
Oncofetal biology provides a transformative framework for understanding cancer initiation, progression, and therapeutic intervention. This review synthesizes the core molecular mechanisms connecting embryonic development and tumorigenesis from a multidisciplinary standpoint and outlines future research trajectories and clinical applications, and we aim

Factors Influencing Uptake of Risk-Reducing Salpingo-Oophorectomy by BRCA1 and BRCA2 Mutation Carriers [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Germline mutations in the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes are associated with significantly increased risks for ovarian cancer. The National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) currently recommends that female BRCA mutation carriers undergo risk-reducing salpingo ...

Breast Cancer Gene (BRCA1, BRCA2)

open access: yesJournal of Medicine and Life Science, 2003
Most women with breast cancer do not have a familial history of the disease in a first degree relative and hereditary breast cancer caused by a mutant gene passed from parents to their children is rare; only 5-10% of breast cancers are estimated to be attributable to the inheritance of rare highly penetrant, germline mutations of genes, although this ...
