Genetic Risk Factors in Breast Cancer
By Mai Brooks M.D.
Breast cancer is the most common cancer and the second leading cause of cancer deaths in women in the United States. In 2008, approximately 184,450 patients were estimated to be diagnosed with invasive cancer, and an estimated 40,930 were estimated to die of this disease. Furthermore, over 50,000 female carcinoma in situ breast cases would have been diagnosed. The etiology of breast cancer is poorly understood with multiple genetic and environmental factors involved in the initiation and progression of cancer.Scandinavian Twin Study: For years, there has been a hot debate as to whether the cause of breast cancer is genetic or environmental. Then in 2000, Lichtenstein and his colleagues at the Karolinska Institute in Sweden published their study of 44,788 pairs of twins from the Swedish, Danish, and Finnish twin registries. In this study, they looked at cancer risk with 28 different types of cancers and did statistical modeling of genetic and hereditary contributions in eleven different cancer types. For breast cancer, they clearly showed that only 27% of cancer cases were due to genetic factors. This was an even lower hereditary component than other common cancers such as prostate and colorectal. This study and others have confirmed the fact that over 70% of breast malignanciess are influenced by environmental factors.
BRCA genes: Although much attention has been made about hereditary breast cancer, only two genes are commonly tested for this cancer risk assessment. These two genes are tumor suppressor genes named "BRCA1" and "BRCA2" that are involved with DNA repair. These two genes only account for about 5% of all breast cancers. Because of the Scandinavian twin study, most experts believed that there are other yet to be discovered genes involved with breast cancer. Because the chance of having a BRCA mutation in the general population is so low, genetic testing is not indicated in most patients. However, if a patient has a family history of breast cancer, then a mathematical model can be used to determine if BRCA testing is indicated. The likelihood of being a BRCA carrier increases with the number of relatives who had cancer and if the cancers occurred earlier in life. For example, in families with four or more cases of breast or ovarian cancer under the age of 60, over 80% are found to have a damaged version of BRCA1 or BRCA2. If a patient is a carrier of one or both of the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes, her risk of breast malignancy dramatically increases. According to estimates of lifetime risk, about 13.2% (132 out of 1,000 individuals) of women in the general population will develop breast neoplasms, compared with estimates of 36-85% (360-850 out of 1,000) of women with an altered BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene. In other words, women with an altered BRCA1 and/or BRCA2 gene are up to eight times more likely to develop breast tumors than women without alterations in those genes. The BRCA1 mutation confers a higher risk than a BRCA2 mutation. Women who inherit a damaged BRCA1 gene have a 60-85% chance of developing breast cancer at some stage in their lives and a 20-40% chance of developing ovarian cancer. For BRCA2, the risks are 40-60% and 10-20%, respectively.
Family History: Although the spotlight in hereditary breast cancer has been directed on the BRCA genes, the majority of patients with a family history of breast neoplasms are BRCA1 and BRCA2 negative. Even in these BRCA negative patients, however, there is an increased risk of developing cancer with a family history of breast malignancies. Six factors (unrelated to BRCA genes) have been studied in patients with a family history of breast tumors. They are as follows:
1. Degree of relationship: If the family member with a history of cancer is a first degree relative, the increased risk is much greater than for second degree relatives.
2. Number of relatives who have had breast cancer: People with two or more family members who have had cancer are at higher risk than those with only one affected relative.
3. Age of onset of cancer: If the relative developed cancer at an early age (pre-menopausal), the risk is higher than if the relative developed post menopausal breast malignancy.
4. Bilateral breast tumors: If the relative has a history of bilateral disease, the risk is greater than having a relative with unilateral disease.
5. Gender of the relative: If the family member with breast cancer is a man, the risk is higher.
6. Other related early onset tumors: If there is a family history of early onset ovarian cancer, this incurs an increased risk for a person.
How to decide whether you need the BRCA gene test
The following is an excerpt from the American Society of Breast Surgeons:
2. Two primary breast tumors, either bilateral or ipsilateral
3. A family history of early onset breast malignancy
4. Male breast neoplasm
5. A personal or family history of ovarian cancer
6. Ashkenazi (Eastern European) Jewish heritage
7. A previously identified BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutation in the family
Any one of these features alone indicates a risk for harboring a BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutation. The presence of more than one of these features raises that risk to greater than 10%, the traditional cutoff for recommending a BRCA test. Such patients should have access to BRCA testing. A simple risk-calculation model based on the prevalence of mutations seen among women tested for BRCA mutations is available at http://www.brcacalculator.com

Breast Cancer: What Women Should Know
By Robert Thatcher
From relative obscurity, breast cancer has become one of the leading causes of deaths among women in the world. In 2001, about 200,000 cases of breast cancer have been reported in the United States, making it the second leading cause of cancer death in the US. It is, in fact, the most common malignancy problem that is affecting women in North America and Europe today.But what is breast cancer and how do people get it?
Breast cancer occurs when malignant tumors in the breast grow and start to affect other tissues in the body. There is still no clear indications how tumors are created but what is often observed is that cancerous cells usually comes from ducts or glands.
Although women's health organizations advise women to massage the breast daily and to feel for any lumps, it may a long time before a cancerous cell get big enough for us to feel it. By that time, it may already be too late. Doctors make use of mammograms for their diagnosis.
Breast at risk
All women are actually at risk, with the risk increasing with the presence of some risk factors that are already part of the natural cycle, for example, aging. Family history of breast cancer can also significantly affect the prognosis as heredity has been found to play a role. Women who got their periods before they were 12 years old and those who never had or had children after 30 years old are also more likely to develop breast cancer.
There are also risk factors that medical science can help alter such as hormonal problems through replacement therapies. Women are also advised to decrease their consumption of alcoholic drinks, exercise every day and decrease the use of birth control pills. Breastfeeding has been found to decrease the risk of breast cancer development.
Although there are some factors that women can avoid to prevent breast cancer from developing, cause and effect relationships between these factors and breast cancer is still debatable. For women who are already at high risk, doctors often recommend a drug called Tamoxifen, which is known to decrease the risk by as much 50 percent when taken in five years. Still, like all medications, Tamoxifen has side effects such as hot flushes, vaginal discharges and sometimes even blood clots. Taking the drug can also lead to pulmonary emobolus, stroke and uterine cancer, although these are all isolated cases.
Another avenue that women can go to is Vitamin A, which some studies show to be effective in decreasing the risk. Still, research is still in the initial stages and nothing has been proven yet. Other things that are being linked to the breast cancer fight are phytoestrogens, which can be found in soya, Vitamin E, and Vitamin C.
But until something concrete is found in research, the only thing that women can do to ensure that they are safe from breast cancer is early detection. This can be done through daily self-examinations as well as annual check ups and mammogram tests. It is also important that women know the beginnings of breast cancer. Here are some of the signs that they should watch out for.
Lumps in the breast and in the underarms
Scaling of the skin of the breast and of the nipple
Redness in the skin of the breast and of the nipple
Changes in the size of their breasts
Discharges from the nipple
If these signs are observed, it is best to consult a specialist so that you can know whether you have breast cancer or not.

BBC Article on Enzyme Behind Cancer Spread
- Enzyme behind cancer spread found
- Scientists say they have identified an enzyme that helps cancer spread around the body. Cancer metastasis, where the cancer spreads from its original location, is known to be responsible for 90% of cancer-related deaths. Institute of Cancer Research scientists have found that an enzyme called LOX is crucial in promoting metastasis, Cancer Cell journal reports. Drugs to block this enzyme's action could keep cancer at bay, they hope.
The researchers studied breast cancer in mice, but are confident that their findings will apply to humans with other cancer types too. This new discovery provides real hope that we can develop a drug which will fight the spreading of cancer
Lead researcher Dr Janine Erler
LOX (lysyl oxidase) works by sending out signals to prepare a new area of the body for the cancer to set up a camp. Without this preparation process the new environment would be too hostile for the cancer to grow.
Lead researcher Dr Janine Erler described the discovery as "the crucial missing piece in the jigsaw that scientists have been searching for."
She said it was the first time one key enzyme has been identified as responsible for effectively allowing the cancer to spread.
"If we can interrupt the body's ability to prepare new locations for the cancer to spread to, we can effectively prevent cancer metastasis.
"Cancer metastasis is very difficult to treat and this new discovery provides real hope that we can develop a drug which will fight the spreading of cancer," she said.
Dr Julie Sharp, Cancer Research UK's science information manager, said: "A better understanding of how cancer spreads is crucial to improving the treatment of the disease. This research takes scientists a step closer to understanding this major problem - the next stage will be to find out if the LOX protein can be switched off to stop cancer spreading."

BSE, Breast Ultrasound, and Breast Biopsy Explained
By Andrew Kasch
Breast cancer is one of the leading types of cancer among women in the world today. It also ranks as one of the leading cause of death among women, with the number of recorded cases reaching to millions annually.With this data being circulated by the World Health Organization (WHO), local health departments, and even by organizations that are geared towards breast care and breast cancer awareness programs, women of today should take more caution and must observe preventive measures in order to reduce the morbidity and the mortality rate of this life-threatening condition.
Breast cancer can be considered a "grave" disease when it progresses to its later stage. The sufferer will usually experience excruciating pain, and other signs and symptoms brought about by the metastasis of the cancer cells to other organs inside the body. The patient will be enduring bone aches, gastrointestinal problems, cardiovascular alterations, respiratory depression, and eventually die.
Luckily, the medical world has searched and discovered ways and means to diagnose and prevent the progress of breast cancer. These preventive measures are effective when the tumour on the breast area has been detected at an early stage. Early detection equates to more hope and chances for survival. Especially when considering that early treatment such as chemotherapy, surgery, and radiation will usually be done immediately after the detection of the cancer cells.
So what are the preventive measures that will help a woman in the early detection of this disease? There are three (3) major diagnostic tests for breast cancer:
1. Breast Self Examination or BSE - this is a common preventive measure to early detect any changes on the breast area, such as lumps or tenderness. BSE have been taught worldwide by health care providers and even volunteer workers to women of all ages. This simple screening test is the initial detective measure that can be done by women at their homes. It involves palpation of lumps, tenderness, and assessing and changes on the skin area that might signal presence of any malignancies.
2. Breast Ultrasound - this is the second screening test that most health care providers recommend when during the BSE the woman has detected any abnormalities on her breast area. This procedure, however, is not considered a confirmatory diagnostic test to completely rule out the presence of cancer. It will only be done to evaluate any obstruction on blood flow on the breast area, or any changes in the muscle mass of the breast.
3. Breast Biopsy - when the second test has noted any mass or obstruction in the blood flow within the breast area, a breast biopsy is then ordered by the physician to finally rule out the presence of cancer. This diagnostic test can confirm the stage of cancer, the metastasis on other organs, as well as any involvement of lymph nodes that can speed up the spread of cancer cells.
With these three screening tests available to detect the presence of breast cancer, women who suffer the condition can then be advised to undergo a specific treatment to eradicate cancerous cells inside the body. It is important, however, that women should participate actively in implementing these screening tests, so that their disease condition will be treated promptly and properly.

Health Scout's Aricle on Genes Linked to Spread of Breast Cancer
- HealthScout-Consumer Health News, Cancer-Genes Linked to Spread of Breast Cancer
- WEDNESDAY, May 6 (HealthDay News) -- Three genes linked to the spread of breast cancer to the brain have been identified by U.S. researchers, who say the finding could help lead to new treatments.
The spread, or metastasis, of breast cancer to the brain typically occurs years after a breast tumor has been removed. Experts say this suggests that the cancer cells initially lack the ability to penetrate the blood-brain barrier, which prevents the entry of circulating cells and regulates the transport of molecules into the brain tissue.
The new study found that two genes, COX2 and HB-EGF, are prime breast cancer cells for entrance into the brain. Another gene, ST6GALNAC5 -- which is normally active only in brain tissue -- causes a chemical reaction that creates a coating on the surface of breast cancer cells that enhances their ability to breach the blood-brain barrier.

It's About Eve
After losing his cousin to breast cancer, music executive Hernando Courtright was looking for the best way to honor her memory. While walking or running in a marathon to raise funds is great he took another approach. Looking to creating project that would have more impact he decided to create a CD on his record label, Fore Reel Records, and combine it with his support of indie female artists. Who better than women to bring attention to this deadly disease?
The result was "It's About Eve," an album of fourteen tracks contributed by different female artists.
