Family genetics and breast cancer

Postby Janette » Thu Sep 15, 2011 11:34 pm

A family history increases a woman's risk of developing breast and ovarian cancer and in about five per cent of cases there's a clear genetic link.

These women have gene mutations which cause them to develop breast cancer at a young age.

Judy Kirk discusses new research which looks at how these genes influence the onset of cancer from one generation to the next.
