Pathophysiology: chapter 7: Neoplasia Jane Foster [JF] is a 26-year-old woman in the clinic today for her annual physical examination. As the nurse performs the initial physical assessment, it becomes apparent the client is quite concerned about her risk for developing breast cancer. Her mother and a maternal aunt both developed breast cancer in their late 40s. JF “heard that genetic testing can be done” to see whether she carries “breast cancer genes.” The nurse knows JF is asking about the BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutation genes. What proportion of breast cancer cases can be attributed to inherited forms?
