Examining BRCA Previvors’ Social Media Content Creation as a Form of Self and Community Care: Qualitative Interview Study

Examining BRCA Previvors’ Social Media Content Creation as a Form of Self and Community Care: Qualitative Interview Study

Women who test positive for a BRCA genetic mutation are at a higher risk of developing hereditary breast and ovarian cancer, which impacts their health, reproductive choices, and identity [10,11]. Within their lifetime, individuals with a BRCA mutation have up to a 75% increased risk in developing breast or ovarian cancer [12].

Identifying Safeguards Disabled by Epstein-Barr Virus Infections in Genomes From Patients With Breast Cancer: Chromosomal Bioinformatics Analysis

Identifying Safeguards Disabled by Epstein-Barr Virus Infections in Genomes From Patients With Breast Cancer: Chromosomal Bioinformatics Analysis

In NPC and the other known EBV-associated cancers, EBV inhibits the FA-BRCA pathway by various methods, including using viral micro RNAs to downregulate BRCA1 [14], hijacking other pathway components [15,16], and destabilizing SMC5/6-mediated chromatin interactions [17,18]. In GC, EBV infection and FA-BRCA pathway status are mutually exclusive [19], implying that EBV infection is approximately equivalent to disabling the FA-BRCA pathway. In DLBCL, the best prognostic marker is FA-BRCA pathway status [20].

Paradigmatic Approach to Support Personalized Counseling With Digital Health (iKNOW)

Paradigmatic Approach to Support Personalized Counseling With Digital Health (iKNOW)

To provide additional patient-relevant information (eg, related to psychosocial support or possible lifestyle changes), information materials of the German Cancer Information Centre [21], the German Cancer Aid [22], and the BRCA network [23] were summarized and the information was referenced in the i KNOW database. Additionally, several workshops and focus group interviews with expert patients from the BRCA network were held to optimally include the patients’ perspectives in the development of the tool.

Gaps in Public Awareness About BRCA and Genetic Testing in Prostate Cancer: Social Media Landscape Analysis

Gaps in Public Awareness About BRCA and Genetic Testing in Prostate Cancer: Social Media Landscape Analysis

For men with metastatic, castration-resistant PCa who carry BRCA mutations, the FDA has approved 2 poly-ADP ribose polymerase (PARP) inhibitors as targeted therapy after progression on standard therapy [8-10]. BRCA mutation status is also included in guidelines for PCa screening [4], and men with BRCA2 mutations have more reclassification during active surveillance for favorable-risk disease [11].
