What every tomato needs to know about hereditary breast cancer According to
FORCE (Facing Our Risk of Cancer Empowered) a non-profit organization dedicated to raising awareness of hereditary breast and ovarian cancer, about 90% of cancers (including breast cancer) result from changes that occur to genes in cells over the course of a lifetime. Another 10% of cancer is associated with specific gene changes that are inherited from either parent. Researchers have identified two genes, called BRCA1 and BRCA2, which can be associated with breast and ovarian cancer in women.
Signs of hereditary breast cancer: 1. Have you or a close relative (mother, sister, daughter, grandmother, aunt, or cousin) on either side of your family been diagnosed with breast cancer before age 50?
2. Have you or a close relative (mother, sister, daughter, grandmother, aunt, or cousin) been diagnosed with ovarian or fallopian tube cancer at any age?
3. Have you or a close relative been diagnosed with breast cancer in both breasts, or two separate breast cancer occurrences?
4. Do you have any male relatives with breast cancer?
5. Do you have two or more relatives on the same side of the family with any of the following: breast, ovarian, fallopian tube, or pancreatic cancer?
If you answered "yes" to any of these questions, then please read this very
important article by Susan Friedman, Executive Director of FORCE.
