This article deals with hereditary breast cancer.

Familial breast cancer redirects to this article.

Syndromes associated with breast cancer

Gene Syndrome Cancers Notes
BRCA1 Familial breast and ovarian cancer[1] breast, male breast, ovarian, prostate, pancreas, fallopian tube younger individuals vis-à-vis BRCA2
BRCA2 Familial breast and ovarian cancer 2[2] breast, male breast, ovarian, prostate, pancreas, stomach, melanoma, gallbladder, bile duct, pharynx older individuals vis-à-vis BRCA1
TP53 (p53) Li-Fraumeni syndrome (AKA SBLA syndrome) sarcomas, brain, larynx, lung, leukemia, adrenal, breast often present in childhood
CHEK2 Li-Fraumeni syndrome (variant) see p53 -
STK11 Peutz-Jeghers syndrome breast, gastrointestinal, Sertoli cell tumour, granulosa cell tumour, SCTAT characteristic GI hamartomas, mucocutaneous pigmentation
PTEN Cowden syndrome breast, thyroid (PTC), endometrial, renal, colorectal -
CDH1 Familial diffuse gastric cancer[3] invasive lobular carcinoma, gastric signet ring cell carcinoma -

BRCA1 and BRCA2

BRCA1 versus BRCA2:[4]

Gene Age Histology Other cancers
BRCA1 younger worse types, e.g. triple negative breast ca. uterine tube
BRCA2 older sporadic types stomach, melanoma, gallbladder, bile duct, pharynx

Types of cancer associated with both BRCA1 and BRCA2 - male OPP:

  • Male breast, ovarian, prostate, pancreas.

How to remember types of cancer associated with BRCA2 - PUM:

  • Pharynx, upper GI (stomach, gallbladder, biliary), melanoma.

Management

  • Women get prophylatic bilateral salpingo-oophorectomies and mastectomies.
    • The pathology yield in bilateral salpingo-oophorectomies is significant but modest; in series of 26 prophylatic surgeries (BRCA1 22 individuals, BRCA2 4 individuals) there were 2 in situ carcinoma and 2 atypical proliferations.[5] All of the pathology was in BRCA1 carriers.
    • In prophylatic procedures, the ovaries and tubes, endometrium, and lower uterine segment should all be submitted in total.[6]
  • Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerases (PARP) inhibitors, e.g. olaparib.[7]
    • Used in both germline and somatic BRCA-mutated cancers.

Other mutations

  • BARD1 mutations.[8]
