Gene Test Can Predict Breast Cancer Risk For Women Diagnosed With Abnormal Cells: study

Genetic risk score can help identify women at higher risk of invasive breast cancer

Studying a person's genetic makeup can predict if they will go on to develop invasive breast cancer after abnormal cells have been found in their breast tissue.

Genetic test can predict who could develop invasive breast cancer

A genetic test can predict if someone will go on to develop invasive breast cancer after abnormal cells have been found in their breast tissue.

Gene Test Can Predict Breast Cancer Risk

A new study finds that a genetic risk score can predict which women will develop invasive breast cancer after abnormal cells have been found in their breast tissue.

A polygenic risk score may predict future breast cancer in patients with early-stage diagnoses

A retrospective study found that the 313-SNP breast cancer polygenic risk score (PRS313) blood test could predict future incidents of breast cancer in women diagnosed with ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) or lobular carcinoma in situ (LCIS).

Polygenic Risk Score Predicts Which Lesions Will Become Breast Cancer

Researchers at King’s College London have shown that an existing genetic test for breast cancer can also predict future breast cancer in women with ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) or lobular carcinoma in situ (LCIS), two conditions characterized by lesions in breast tissue that can progress into breast cancer. Results of the study, published in Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarker & Prevention, show early potential for this genetic test to inform a mo…
