Prevalence and Spectrum of <i>BRCA</i> Germline Variants in Central Italian High Risk or Familial Breast/Ovarian Cancer Patients: A Monocentric Study

Prevalence and Spectrum of <i>BRCA</i> Germline Variants in Central Italian High Risk or Familial Breast/Ovarian Cancer Patients: A Monocentric Study

Hereditary breast and ovarian cancers are mainly linked to variants in <i>BRCA1</i>/2 genes. Recently, data has shown that identification of <i>BRCA</i> variants has an immediate impact not only in cancer prevention but also in targeted therapeutic approaches. This prospectiv...
