tamoxifenBreast Cancer Prognosis in Women With BRCA1 or
BRCA2 Mutations

Women with mutations in BRCA1 or BRCA2 have more than triple the risk of developing breast cancer compared with women in the general population. Not only is their risk higher, but some research shows that breast tumors in these women tend to behave differently than tumors in other women. Doctors are trying to understand all of those differences — and what they mean in terms of how the cancer progresses — so they can pick the most appropriate treatment strategy for each woman.
