Large prospective study of ovarian cancer screening in high-risk women: CA125 cut-point defined by menopausal status.

TL;DR: To achieve a 2% false positive rate in ovarian cancer screening trials and in high-risk women choosing to be screened, the cut-point for initial CA125 testing should be personalized primarily for menopausal status (50 for premenopausal women, 40 for pre menopausal on OC, and 35 for post menopausal women).
Journal ArticleDOI

Associations of common breast cancer susceptibility alleles with risk of breast cancer subtypes in BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutation carriers

Karoline Kuchenbaecker, +210 more
TL;DR: Differences in associations of common BC susceptibility alleles between BRCA1 and BRCa2 carriers and the general population are explained to a large extent by differences in the prevalence of ER-positive and ER-negative tumors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Quantitative assessment of background parenchymal enhancement in breast MRI predicts response to risk-reducing salpingo-oophorectomy: preliminary evaluation in a cohort of BRCA1/2 mutation carriers.

TL;DR: Quantitative measures of BPE and FGT are different before and after RRSO, and their relative changes are associated with prediction of developing breast cancer, potentially indicative of women who are more susceptible to develop breast cancer after R RSO in BRCA1/2 mutation carriers.
Journal ArticleDOI

A transcriptome-wide association study among 97,898 women to identify candidate susceptibility genes for epithelial ovarian cancer risk

Yingchang Lu, +163 more
- 15 Sep 2018 - 
TL;DR: The authors performed a transcriptome-wide association study to search for novel genetic loci and plausible causal genes at known GWAS loci, and identified 35 genes, including FZD4 at 11q14.2 (Z = 5.08, P = 3.47 × 10-3), a potential novel locus for EOC risk.
Journal ArticleDOI

Age at first birth and the risk of breast cancer in BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutation carriers

Joanne Kotsopoulos, +45 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that an early first full-term birth does not confer protection against breast cancer in BRCA mutation carriers and opting for a prophylactic oophorectomy as a breast and/or ovarian cancer risk-reducing strategy should complete childbearing prior to age 40 when this prevention modality is most effective.
