Familial Cancers Associated With Cancers of the Breast, Prostate, Colorectum, and Lung in Sweden
ABSTRACT Available epidemiological evidence shows that many cancers share familial risks, and this is increasingly confirmed by data on shared pathogenic germline gene variants between cancers. We decided to harness the world's largest resource on familial cancer to assess discordant familial risks for female breast (BC), prostate (PC), colorectal (CRC)

MLH1 p.His112Arg Variant Is Associated With Increased Cancer Susceptibility
ABSTRACT Lynch syndrome, a prevalent hereditary cancer predisposition, is frequently caused by pathogenic variants in the MutL homolog 1 (MLH1) mismatch repair gene. However, a significant proportion of MLH1 missense variants remain classified as variants of uncertain significance (VUS), creating clinical ambiguity.

ABSTRACT Ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) is usually detected with mammography screening and assumed to be a precursor of invasive ductal cancer (IDC) of the breast. Yet, despite an approximately 10‐fold increase in the rate of DCIS detection and treatment within 20 years following implementation of mammography screening in the United States, IDC ...

Abstract Background Risk‐reducing salpingo‐oophorectomy is the standard intervention for prevention of tubo‐ovarian carcinoma in women with pathogenic BRCA1/2 variants, yet the optimal timing remains clinically challenging, particularly for BRCA2 carriers.

Abstract Lynch syndrome and BRCA‐mutation associated malignancies are fortunately rare. Affected patients have an increased risk of cancer diagnosis at a young age, often significantly overlapping with their reproductive years. In helping these patients, oncologists must navigate the following areas of care: cancer prevention, impact of cancer ...
