  • BRCA in Gastrointestinal Cancers: Current Treatments and Future Perspectives
    cancers Review BRCA in Gastrointestinal Cancers: Current Treatments and Future Perspectives Eleonora Molinaro, Kalliopi Andrikou, Andrea Casadei-Gardini * and Giulia Rovesti Department of Oncology and Hematology, Division of Oncology, University of Modena and Reggio Emilia, 41121 Modena, Italy; [email protected] (E.M.); [email protected] (K.A.); [email protected] (G.R.) * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 10 October 2020; Accepted: 11 November 2020; Published: 12 November 2020 Simple Summary: BRCA gene mutations are progressively gaining more attention in the context of gastrointestinal malignancies, especially in pancreatic cancer where their identification can have both therapeutic and surveillance relevance. Abstract: A strong association between pancreatic cancer and BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations is documented. Based on promising results of breast and ovarian cancers, several clinical trials with poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitors (PARPi) are ongoing for gastrointestinal (GI) malignancies, especially for pancreatic cancer. Indeed, the POLO trial results provide promising and awaited changes for the pancreatic cancer therapeutic landscape. Contrariwise, for other gastrointestinal tumors, the rationale is currently only alleged. The role of BRCA mutation in gastrointestinal cancers is the subject of this review. In particular, we aim to provide the latest updates about novel therapeutic strategies that, exploiting DNA repair defects, promise to shape the future therapeutic scenario of GI cancers. Keywords: BRCA1; BRCA2; gastrointestinal cancers; HRD; pancreatic cancer; Olaparib; PARP inhibitors; surveillance 1. Introduction BRCA1 and BRCA2 are famous tumor susceptibility genes. They encode for proteins playing a crucial role in the correct repair of damaged DNA. Indeed, these genes are key components of the homologous recombination (HR) pathway [1].

  • Genetic Testing for BRCA1 and BRCA2: Information for Texas Health Care Professionals
    Genetic Testing for BRCA1 and BRCA2: Information for Texas Health Care Professionals How common are BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations in the general population? Inherited mutations in BRCA1 and BRCA2 are relatively uncommon in the general population. The carrier frequency is estimated to range from 1 in 300 to 1 in 800.1,3 Certain ethnic groups have been shown to have a higher carrier frequency (i.e., 1 in 40 for individuals of Ashkenazi Jewish descent). What percentage of breast and ovarian cancer cases are estimated to be caused by BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations? Five to 10 percent of all breast cancer cases and up to 14 percent of all ovarian cancer cases are thought to be caused by BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations.1,2,3,4 Can BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations be inherited from either side of the family? Yes, either parent can pass along a BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutation. Therefore, it is important for clinicians to obtain a complete cancer history on both the maternal and the paternal sides of the family when assessing genetic risk.4 Which patients should I consider referring to a genetic counselor for risk assessment and to discuss the option of genetic testing for BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations? Most individuals do not have a mutation in the BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene. While specific indications for genetic counseling and testing vary among professional organizations, certain aspects of your patient’s personal and/or family history may increase his or her likelihood of carrying a BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutation. The indications below are to be used as a guide and are not a substitute for clinical judgment.

  • BRCA1 and BRCA2 in Men
    BRCA1 and BRCA2 in Men Everyone has BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes. These genes help repair damage to the DNA within cells. However, some individuals inherit a mutation in one of their BRCA genes, which increases their risk for certain cancers, including breast (female and male), ovarian, pancreatic and prostate cancers, as well as melanoma. Those who test positive for a gene mutation have options available to lower and manage their cancer risks. Man can carry BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene mutations and can be at increased risk for certain cancers. While cancer risks in male BRCA mutation carriers are not as dramatically elevated as those of female BRCA mutation carriers, cancer risk management and early detection are crucial. It is important for both men and women to remember that a family history of breast, ovarian, prostate or pancreatic cancers on their father’s side of the family may indicate a hereditary gene mutation. Many people mistakenly believe a family history of breast or ovarian cancer only matters on their mother’s side of the family. Men can inherit a BRCA gene mutation from their mother or father and can pass on their BRCA gene mutation to their male and female children. Medical management for men with BRCA1/2 mutations changes at age 35–40. Starting at age 35, male BRCA mutation carriers should begin yearly clinical breast exams with a physician. At age 40, prostate cancer screenings are recommended for BRCA2 carriers and considered for BRCA1 carriers. Men with a BRCA mutation and a family history of pancreatic cancer or melanoma should speak to a physician to develop a personalized screening plan for those cancers.

  • Breast Imaging Faqs
    Breast Imaging Frequently Asked Questions Update 2021 The following Q&As address Medicare guidelines on the reporting of breast imaging procedures. Private payer guidelines may vary from Medicare guidelines and from payer to payer; therefore, please be sure to check with your private payers on their specific breast imaging guidelines. Q: What differentiates a diagnostic from a screening mammography procedure? Medicare’s definitions of screening and diagnostic mammography, as noted in the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid’s (CMS’) National Coverage Determination database, and the American College of Radiology’s (ACR’s) definitions, as stated in the ACR Practice Parameter of Screening and Diagnostic Mammography, are provided as a means of differentiating diagnostic from screening mammography procedures. Although Medicare’s definitions are consistent with those from the ACR, the ACR's definitions of screening and diagnostic mammography offer additional insight into what may be included in these procedures. Please go to the CMS and ACR Web site links noted below for more in- depth information about these studies. Medicare Definitions (per the CMS National Coverage Determination for Mammograms 220.4) “A diagnostic mammogram is a radiologic procedure furnished to a man or woman with signs and symptoms of breast disease, or a personal history of breast cancer, or a personal history of biopsy - proven benign breast disease, and includes a physician's interpretation of the results of the procedure.” “A screening mammogram is a radiologic procedure furnished to a woman without signs or symptoms of breast disease, for the purpose of early detection of breast cancer, and includes a physician’s interpretation of the results of the procedure.

This Practice Bulletin was developed by the American College of Obstetrician and Gynecologists’ Committee on Practice Bulletins–Gynecology and Committee on Genetics in collaboration with Susan C. Modesitt, MD, and Karen Lu, MD, and by the Society of Gynecologic Oncology in collaboration with Lee-may Chen, MD, and C. Bethan Powell, MD. Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer Syndrome Hereditary breast and ovarian cancer syndrome is an inherited cancer-susceptibility syndrome characterized by mul- tiple family members with breast cancer, ovarian cancer, or both. Based on the contemporary understanding of the origins and management of ovarian cancer and for simplicity in this document, ovarian cancer also refers to fallopian tube cancer and primary peritoneal cancer. Clinical genetic testing for gene mutations allows more precise identifica- tion of those women who are at an increased risk of inherited breast cancer and ovarian cancer. For these individuals, screening and prevention strategies can be instituted to reduce their risks. Obstetrician–gynecologists play an impor- tant role in the identification and management of women with hereditary breast and ovarian cancer syndrome. If an obstetrician–gynecologist or other gynecologic care provider does not have the necessary knowledge or expertise in cancer genetics to counsel a patient appropriately, referral to a genetic counselor, gynecologic or medical oncologist, or other genetics specialist should be considered (1). More genes are being discovered that impart varying risks of breast cancer, ovarian cancer, and other types of cancer, and new technologies are being developed for genetic test- ing.

  • Insights Into Molecular Classifications of Triple-Negative Breast Cancer: Improving Patient Selection for Treatment
    Published OnlineFirst January 24, 2019; DOI: 10.1158/2159-8290.CD-18-1177 REVIEW Insights into Molecular Classifications of Triple-Negative Breast Cancer: Improving Patient Selection for Treatment Ana C. Garrido-Castro1,2, Nancy U. Lin1,2, and Kornelia Polyak1,2 ABSTRACT Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) remains the most challenging breast cancer subtype to treat. To date, therapies directed to specific molecular targets have rarely achieved clinically meaningful improvements in outcomes of patients with TNBC, and chemo- therapy remains the standard of care. Here, we seek to review the most recent efforts to classify TNBC based on the comprehensive profiling of tumors for cellular composition and molecular features. Technologic advances allow for tumor characterization at ever-increasing depth, generating data that, if integrated with clinical–pathologic features, may help improve risk stratification of patients, guide treatment decisions and surveillance, and help identify new targets for drug development. Significance: TNBC is characterized by higher rates of relapse, greater metastatic potential, and shorter overall survival compared with other major breast cancer subtypes. The identification of biomarkers that can help guide treatment decisions in TNBC remains a clinically unmet need. Under- standing the mechanisms that drive resistance is key to the design of novel therapeutic strategies to help prevent the development of metastatic disease and, ultimately, to improve survival in this patient population. INTRODUCTION with TNBC, and chemotherapy remains the standard of care. Although many patients with early stages of TNBC are cured Breast cancer is the most frequently diagnosed cancer with chemotherapy, in those who develop metastatic disease, and the second most common cause of cancer mortality in median overall survival (OS) with current treatment options women worldwide (1).

  • The BRCA Guide
    BRCA Guide: Navigating Your Journey A guide to BRCA mutations and their influence on cancer from beBRCAware beBRCAware @beBRCAware @beBRCAware WHAT IS BRCA? Everyone is born with BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes. Normally, these genes ensure that cancerous cells don’t grow and multiply. However, these genes can be mutated, causing their function to change. Mutated BRCA genes are less likely to have control over cancerous cells, leading to an increased risk of ovarian, breast, prostate, and pancreatic cancer. Ovarian cancer can be deadly among women and those with a BRCA mutation are at an increased risk of developing this disease. If you have a BRCA1 mutation, you have a 39% chance of developing ovarian cancer by age 70. If you have a BRCA2 mutation, you have an 11% chance of developing ovarian cancer by age 70. WHY GET TESTED? If you have cancer: If you do not have cancer: Knowing your BRCA status can help your health Knowing your BRCA status will let you know if care team plan potential treatment options, such as you have an increased risk for developing certain targeted therapy. It can also help inform others in cancers. From there, you and your doctor can then your family about their own cancer risk. Remember, decide to screen for cancer more frequently or take you can get tested at any time—even after your preventive action. Finding out that you have a BRCA initial diagnosis. mutation can also prompt other family members to get tested to see if they are at risk.
