New research reveals a gap in menopause support for breast cancer survivors and a lack of involvement in decision-making ...

Mutations in the BRCA1 gene that are either inherited (germline) or acquired (somatic) might not be key to the initiation of prostate cancer, as previously thought, suggests the first study of its ...

Among patients with early-stage triple-negative breast cancer, a beneficial pathologic complete response rate was higher in ...

Dr. Chandler Park sat down for an interview with CURE® to discuss the biggest takeaway from the 2025 ASCO GU Symposium in ...

BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes play a crucial role in repairing damaged DNA. Mutations in BRCA1 and BRCA2 substantially increase the likelihood of breast and ovarian cancer, respectively. This new research ...

Many mutations, such as those found in the well-known BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes, are passed down in what’s called an autosomal dominant pattern. This means that inheriting one bad gene from one ...

Once they both got the diagnosis— the same exact diagnosis— the sisters decided to document their journey on social media to ...

A new structural blueprint paves the way for improved targeting of cancer cells, particularly those with BRCA1 and BRCA2 ...

Scientists at Scripps Research have now captured the first detailed images of the DNA repair protein, Pol-theta, in action, ...

"The interaction between inherited genetic factors and the timing of mutations in the tumor's DNA is central to understanding ...

DNA repair proteins act like the body's editors, constantly finding and reversing damage to our genetic code. Researchers have long struggled to understand how cancer cells hijack one of these ...
