BRIP-1 germline mutation and its role in colon cancer: presentation of two case reports and review of literature. [PDF]

, 2019
BackgroundHereditary colon cancer is characterized by the inheritance of an abnormal gene mutation which predisposes to malignancy. Recent advances in genomic medicine have identified mutations in "novel" genes as conferring an increased risk of ...

Broader Familial Cancer Risk in Relatives of Testicular Cancer Patients: Insights From Two Mediterranean Populations

Andrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Familial clustering of testicular germ cell tumour (TGCT) is well‐established, whereas the risk of non‐testicular cancer among relatives remains inconsistent across studies. Objective To evaluate the overall and site‐specific cancer risk among first‐degree relatives and grandparents of TGCT patients compared to cancer‐free controls.

What Is the Evidence Base Regarding Early Onset Colorectal Cancer in Australia and New Zealand? A Scoping Review

ANZ Journal of Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Early onset colorectal cancer (EoCRC), commonly defined as colorectal cancer diagnosed in people under 50 years of age, is increasing in incidence in Australia and New Zealand. The underlying cause of this remains unclear, despite its growing public health importance.

An Unusual Presentation of Synchronous Breast Cancer and Skin Malignancy in a Patient with Lynch Syndrome: A Case Report and Review of the Literature

Biomedicines
Background: Lynch syndrome is an autosomal dominant condition that leads to an increased risk of many neoplasms. In the United Kingdom, NICE recommends that patients with colorectal and endometrial cancer should be tested for Lynch syndrome.

Lynch syndrome-associated endometrial carcinoma with MLH1 germline mutation and MLH1 promoter hypermethylation: a case report and literature review

BMC Cancer, 2018
Background Lynch syndrome is an autosomal dominant inherited disease caused by germline mutations in mismatch repair genes. Analysis for microsatellite instability (MSI) and immunohistochemistry (IHC) of protein expressions of disease-associated genes is

Assessing Risk Thresholds in Controlled Human Infection Models (CHIM)

Bioethics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Controlled Human Infection Models (CHIMs) are a type of clinical trial involving deliberately exposing human volunteers to an infectious agent. Compared to studies of natural infection, CHIMs offers distinctive benefits, from the ability to study presymptomatic infection to a direct assessment of the efficacy of vaccines and therapeutics in a ...
