The Breast Cancer Gene Affects Men
Gene mutation linked to breast cancer development in women may also cause some of the cancers suffered by men, said today the trade publication Journal of Medical Ethics.De according to research published by this journal, scientists have discovered that the BRA gene mutation C2 only increases the risk of breast and ovarian cancer but also prostate cancer and pncreas.Con based on this study, conducted by a team of Danish researchers this genetic mutation could be connected with bone cancer and throat.
The research findings revealed that carriers of the mutant gene are seven times more likely to have throat cancer than the rest of the population.The C2 BRA carriers also have eight times more likely to have stomach cancer and more doubled from prostate cancer. This study also revealed that more than half of men with prostate cancer die because of the disease, stressing the importance of anticipating the development of the disease with early treatment to those who carry the gene researchers C2.Los BRA given the high likelihood of suffering the disease, a simple review to detect the cancer development, as is done at present is inadequate.
