Editor's Notes

  • #3 There are many factors associated with breast cancer; some are well established. This puzzle helps illustrate what we know about risk factors and some questions that need further study. Risk factors consistently associated with an increase in breast cancer risk include, getting older, being a woman, early menarche, late menopause, early exposure of the breast to ionizing radiation, having your first child late in life or not having children at all, having a close relative with breast cancer and certain benign breast diseases. These traditional or “established” risk factors only explain about 25 to 50% of the breast cancer risk. Hence, the interest in the role of diet, exercise, use of hormone therapy, and environmental chemicals in breast cancer risk.

  • #5 Case 4, Q2 Case 3, Q2, Q6 Case 1, Q3
  • #7 During the next 30 minutes or so, I will talk about three important concepts in breast cancer prevention: To prevent breast cancer, we need to know its causes We cannot eliminate “risk”, but we can QUANTIFY IT Knowing about our personal risk is critical to make informed decisions about WAYS TO REDUCE OR MANAGE OUR RISK THROUGH prevention and WAYS TO DETECT CANCERS EARLY THROUGH ßscreening
  • #10 Cumulative incidence of early-stage (stages 0 to I) breast cancer in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) –screened cohort and comparison group (competing risk model).
  • #12 Figure 1. Interactions of Proteins Associated with Inherited Breast Cancer and with Fanconi Anemia A complex of eight Fanconi proteins (A, B, C, E, F, G, L, and M) activates FANCD2 via monoubiquitination, allowing FANCD2 to translocate to damage-induced nuclear foci that contain BRCA1, BRCA2, and RAD51. DNA damage activates ATM and CHEK2, which in turn activate BRCA1 by phosphorylation. PTEN binds to the Rad51 promoter and may regulate its transcription (Shen et al., 2007). Proteins indicated in red carry germline mutations that predispose to breast cancer. The numbers indicate different breast-cancer-associated mutations identified thus far in each gene. A germline variant in the promoter of Rad51 (blue) may modify breast cancer risk in BRCA2 mutation carriers (Levy-Lahad et al., 2001).
  • #13 Figure 3. Synthetic Lethality According to BRCA Status and PARP Inhibition. In normal cells, mechanisms exist for single-strand break repair and functional base excision repair. The DNA-repair protein XRCC1 (x-ray repair cross-complementing protein 1) functions in the repair of single-strand breaks and forms part of a multimolecular complex with PARP. Two general pathways are involved in base excision repair: short-patch repair leads to a repair tract of a single nucleotide, whereas long-patch repair involves a repair tract of at least two nucleotides. When exposed to PARP inhibitors, unrepaired single-strand breaks can accumulate, with progression to double-strand breaks and subsequent collapse of the replication fork. In cells with functional BRCA, homologous-recombination pathways repair these double-strand breaks, leading to DNA repair and cell viability. In cancers with dysfunctional BRCA, the homologous-recombination pathway is deficient, and after exposure to PARP inhibitors, double-strand breaks accumulate and DNA damage is irreparable, leading to cell death. PARP inhibitors also have other pleiotropic effects on the cancer cell.
  • #14 The decrease in cost of genome sequencing facilitated by massively parallel sequencing technologies. The cost of sequencing has decreased at a rate faster than Moore&amp;apos;s law in the past 10 years. The data from 2001 through 2007 represent the costs of generating DNA sequences by using Sanger-based chemistries and capillary-based instruments (first-generation sequencing platforms). Starting in 2008, the data represent the costs of generating DNA sequences by using second-generation sequencing technologies. The change in instruments represents the rapid evolution of DNA sequencing technologies that has occurred in recent years. Landmark events are also indicated on the timeline. The release of various second- and third-generation technologies is indicated in blue boxes. IHGSC, International Human Genome Sequencing Consortium.
