This week's cover



From Science

PERSPECTIVE

"The Race" to Clone BRCA1

A pioneer in breast cancer genetics reflects on the long and tortuous path leading to the discovery of the BRCA1gene.
PERSPECTIVE

Two Decades after BRCA: Setting Paradigms in Personalized Cancer Care and Prevention"

Screening for BRCA mutations in high-risk families has improved patient care, but the test results sometimes pose challenges.
PERSPECTIVE

Cancer Suppression by the Chromosome Custodians, BRCA1 and BRCA2

The BRCA proteins preserve the structural and numerical integrity of chromosomes, which may explain their tumor suppressor role.
EDITORIAL

Breast Cancer—Thinking Globally

An unacceptable number of women with breast cancer in low- and middle-income countries have no access to effective treatment.

Breast Cancer: A World of Differences

Advances in detecting and treating breast cancer offer an ever brightening outlook for women diagnosed in wealthy countries, but the recent progress has been far from uniform, and in poor countries mortality remains disproportionately high.
NEWS

Dare to Do Less

Scientists are looking for ways to spare women from aggressive treatment of ductal carcinoma in situ, a diagnosis that only sometimes leads to invasive breast cancer.

The 'Other' Breast Cancer Genes

Since the discovery of BRCA1 and BRCA2, dozens more breast cancer genes have come to light. But what risk they pose—and what to tell women who carry them—remain quandaries.

The Advocate

For more than 2 decades, Fran Visco, president of the National Breast Cancer Coalition, has been a force behind the second biggest U.S. breast cancer research program.
