 The discovery of new genes which could identify the risk of women of developing breast cancer
Recent findings by Cancer Research UK have revealed 5 new genes which contribute to the risk of developing breast cancer. Researchers believe these will be the first of a large number of genes that individually have modest effects on risk - but which, if combined, could lead to a high possibility of breast cancer. But what will this mean for NHS breast cancer screening and just what is the psychological impact of knowing that there is a strong possibility that your genetic make-up could lead to you getting breast cancer?
