5-10% breast cancers
10-15% ovarian cancers
(white women in USA)
Tumour supressor gene
Breast cancer susceptibility gene 1 (BRCA 1)
Breast cancer susceptibility gene 2 (BRCA 2)
BRCA 1 general population 1:500-1:800
BRCA 2 lower
Ashkanazi Jewish Descent 1:40
Increased cancer risk
Breast cancer risk 5x higher

SURVEILLANCE
RISK AVOIDANCE
PROPHYLACTIC SURGERY
BREAST CANCER:self examination mammograms MRI
