Clinical and morphological characteristics and prognosis of BRCA-associated breast cancer in women of the reproductive age

Abstract

During last years one should note an unstoppable increase of the breast cancer incidence among patients of reproductive age. A group of pa- tients of young age with the breast cancer whose disease is associated with the BRCA1/2 genes is of particular scientific interest. However, until now no single opinion on survival results in the given group of oncological patients has been evolved yet. In this article, preliminary data on general and non-recurrence survival of patients of the reproductive age are given, depending on BRCA1 gene status.
