BRCA1 mutations in women attending clinics that evaluate the risk of breast cancer.
Fergus J. Couch,Michelle L. Deshano,M.A. Blackwood,Kathleen A. Calzone,Jill Stopfer,Campeau L,Ganguly A,Timothy R. Rebbeck,Barbara L. Weber +8 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that even in a referral clinic specializing in screening women from high-risk families, the majority of tests for BRCA1 mutations will be negative and therefore uninformative.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cancer Risk Estimates for BRCA1 Mutation Carriers Identified in a Risk Evaluation Program
Marcia S. Brose,Timothy R. Rebbeck,Kathleen A. Calzone,Jill Stopfer,Katherine L. Nathanson,Barbara L. Weber +5 more
TL;DR: Estimating BRCA1-related cancer risks for individuals ascertained in a breast cancer risk evaluation clinic is higher than population-based estimates but lower than estimates based on families ascertained for linkage studies, which may most closely approximate those faced by BRCa1 mutation carriers identified in risk evaluation clinics.
Journal ArticleDOI
BRCA2 germline mutations in male breast cancer cases and breast cancer families.
Fergus J. Couch,Linda M. Farid,Michelle L. Deshano,Sean V. Tavtigian,Kathleen A. Calzone,Lisa Campeau,Yi Peng,Bert Bogden,Qian Chen,Susan L. Neuhausen,Donna M Shattuck-Eidens,Andrew K. Godwin,Mary B. Daly,Diane M. Radford,Scott Sedlacek,Johanna M. Rommens,Jacques Simard,Judy Garber,Sofia D. Merajver,Barbara L. Weber +19 more
TL;DR: Three of eleven individuals carry the same mutation, all are of Ashkenazi Jewish descent, supporting the observation by Neuhausen et al, in this issue4 that there is a common mutation in this population.
Journal ArticleDOI
Adherence to oral tamoxifen: a comparison of patient self-report, pill counts, and microelectronic monitoring.
TL;DR: Microelectronic adherence monitoring provides both confirmatory and complimentary data regarding adherence behavior, while also allowing for the evaluation of patterns of nonadherence.
Journal ArticleDOI
Assessment and Counseling for Women With a Family History of Breast Cancer: A Guide for Clinicians
Kent Hoskins,Jill Stopfer,Kathleen A. Calzone,Sofia D. Merajver,Timothy R. Rebbeck,Judy Garber,Barbara L. Weber +6 more
TL;DR: A guide for primary care clinicians is presented that may be helpful in defining families as moderate or high risk, in determining individual risk in women with a family history of breast cancer based on this distinction, and for counseling women in a setting where the data necessary to design surveillance and prevention strategies are lacking.
