I can remember having a conversation 25 years ago concerning the use of percentages while developing hospital policies. What test we did , how often we did them all seemed to depend on the “percentages of positive outcomes”. Unfortunately, according to the administration, some patients would fall through the cracks.
Are there any studies with breast cancer genes that go down the male line? I know that it is rare, but it does occur. Because that is a issue for 2 of my cousins and their daughters. Their moms married brothers, and they have traced the gene to the male not the female line, as none of the rest of my aunts and there were 5 have breast cancer in their gene pool. Both my female cousins had breast cancer, 1 a double Mastectomy because of the markers, the other just a lumpectomy and radiation. Several of their daughters are gene positive.
