Clinical Corner:
When Mother and Daughter have Breast Cancer,
BRCA Genes are not Always the Cause
When a patient is diagnosed with breast cancer, one of the first thoughts may be "is it genetic?". Passing down a gene that may impact a patient's loved one in the future is a common fear - but when multiple generations of a family have breast cancer, BRCA may not be the cause.
Learn more
about genetic mutations and why they may not always be the cause of breast cancer.
