Abstract:Breast cancer (BC) remains the most common cause of death in women worldwide, but advances in science have allowed earlier diagnosis and more comprehensive treatment. This review highlights the impact of extensive molecular genetic testing in assessing the risk of BC susceptibility, as well as possible responses to chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Studies in the literature show that several Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) of genes involved in molecular pathways may become predictors of the risk of develop… Show more
