  • Study: New Genes Linked With Triple Negative Breast Cancer

    We've known that mutations in the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes are linked with an increased risk for breast cancer. Now we know 5 other genes associated with a high risk for triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) thanks to a study by former American Cancer Society grant recipient, Fergus J. Couch, PhD. Knowing these genes can help doctors improve the screening process for women who have a personal or family history of breast or ovarian cancer. Identifying them also allows new treatments for TNBC to be tested.
