Genetic risk score for invasive breast cancer after DCIS
Genetic risk score linked to invasive breast cancer after DCIS/LCIS Researchers at King’s College London have for the first time demonstrated a connection between a person’s genetic risk score and their risk of developing invasive breast cancer after abnormal cells are found in breast tissue. The study, published in Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention and…

Genetic risk score predicts invasive breast cancer after DCIS
Background: DCIS, LCIS and the challenge of progression Screening programs in the UK aim to catch cancers early, but many women are found to have ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) or lobular carcinoma in situ (LCIS) — pre-invasive changes that may or may not become invasive cancer. Clinicians have long sought tools to predict which…

Genetic risk score could predict progression to invasive breast cancer after DCIS/LCIS
Understanding the new link between genetics and cancer risk A major UK study led by researchers at King’s College London has revealed a potential game changer in breast cancer care: a genetic risk score may help predict which women with pre‑invasive breast cells are more likely to develop invasive breast cancer. Published in Cancer Epidemiology,…
