@InvestCommGrp2 @DrDaveT If you have tested positive for one of the BRACA genes you have a 50% chance of passing it on to a child

@InvestCommGrp2 @DrDaveT Yes there is BRAC1 and BRAC2 are the most common hereditary genetic risk factors.

@AhmedMuthana02 @DrDaveT No 1 in 100 (1%) of breast cancer cases in the U.K. are men

[Group 3 @Group384307318]

@uwsbiomed The treatment depends on the features of the cancer and personal circumstances most common treat is chemotherapy using two drugs for example Adraimycin, Ellence or Cytocan are possible chemotherapy drugs.

[Group 3 @Group384307318]

@uwsbiomed Yes Dr McLean BRACA 1 and BRACA 2 are the two genetic markers associated with IDC

[Group 3 @Group384307318]

@uwsbiomed IDC is very aggressive, infiltrates and breaks through the wall of the milk duct grows into nearby breast tissue spreads (metastasises) into the lymph system and then into the bloodstream. Early detection is essential to prevent spread.

[Group 3 @Group384307318]

@uwsbiomed If detected early and treatment is commenced 5 year survival rate is 90% but if not and IDC is already at a stage 4 survival rate decreases to 22%.

[Group 3 @Group384307318]

@uwsbiomed Good morning Dr McLean. We choose this topic to hopefully raise awareness and highlight the importance of early detection making any future treatment more successful
