According to recent study, breast cancer susceptibility and spreadability may both be inherited. This builds on the previous work of Mary-Claire King, who found the BRCA1 gene, which has been linked to an increased risk of breast and ovarian cancer. While around 10% of breast cancer cases are inherited, recent research indicates that genetic factors may also influence how the disease spreads, or metastasizes, which can impact treatment and prognosis.
Genetic testing is becoming increasingly crucial for those who have a family history of breast cancer in order to determine risk and guide prevention efforts. Early identification and targeted therapy may improve results for people who are at higher risk as our understanding advances.
