ANSWER 1. Breast Cancer
ANSWER 2. Statistics of this type of cancer -
All other cancer deaths account for 87% and Breast cancer deaths account for 13%
There are chances that 1 out of 8 women will develop breast cancer in her life time in U.S
Mutation in proto oncogene - The human homologue of neu , c-erb-2, can be activated to an oncogenic form by point mutation. Mutation in c-Ha-ras 1 proto-oncogene. Her-2 /neu proto oncogene encodes a putative growth factor receptor which was shown to be amplified in 25-30% human breast cancer.
Mutation in tumor suppressor gene - The BRCA genes are involved in making a tumor suppressor protein , whivh prevents cells from growing and dividing too rapidly or in an uncontrolled way. A BRCA mutation occurs when the
A BRCA mutation occurs when the DNA that makes up the gene becomes damaged in some way. When a BRCA gene is mutated, it may no longer be effective at repairing broken DNA and helping to prevent breast cancer.
