    Extractions: By Wylie Burke, MD, PhD Colorectal cancer (CRC) has long been known to cluster in some families. Research on the genetics of colorectal cancer (CRC) now provides a guide to the inheritance of CRC risk. An important benefit of this research is the development of strategies to identify people with a genetic susceptibility to CRC so that targeted prevention can be offered. In the long term, this research will lead to a better understanding of the biology of CRC and may ultimately lead to new treatment and prevention strategies. Family history as a risk factor for colorectal cancer See Figure 1 ). Both of these conditions are rare, but people with these conditions require special approaches to early detection and treatment to reduce their cancer risk. When a family history indicates the possibility of a high-risk family, further investigation is merited to determine whether these conditions are present. Specific family history characteristics that suggest an inherited cancer syndrome include colorectal cancer in succeeding generations, onset of cancer before age 50, and the presence of other cancers associated with an inherited risk of colorectal cancer, especially endometrial cancer. Suspicion increases with an increasing number of affected family members.

    Extractions: The goal of the GMB Program is to coordinate and integrate fundamental studies on the genes and associated molecular processes involved in tumorigenesis and viral pathogenesis with Clinical translational programs. It is now well known that the development of cancer requires the alteration of dozens of genes and cellular processes. Furthermore, the process of viral pathogenesis alters normal cellular functions which can lead to cancer as well as other viral associated diseases. Indeed, the first cancer genes were found to be carried by oncogenic tumor viruses. Basic research on the genetics and molecular biology of these processes has lead to a new understanding of carcinogenesis and viral pathogenesis and resulted in the rapid development of new clinical protocols. The members of the GMB Program have a long and productive track record studying many of these processes and translating that work into both a clinical and preventional setting.

    Extractions: Medical Genetics Program The Center for Colon Cancer and Polyps is part of a collaborative group offering comprehensive risk assessment, genetic counseling, screening recommendations and appropriate genetic testing to patients with a family history of polyps and colon cancer. Risk Assessment Services Most diseases occur randomly, or as a result of external exposure (such as cancer-causing agents in the diet or environment) or lifestyle risk factors such as smoking. You may want to consider genetic risk assessment if several members of your family have the same or related diseases. But even what appears to be a family pattern may be due to chance, not genes. The only way to know is to have a complete evaluation performed. Genetic risk assessment starts with your family tree and develops to include important information for disease-related genes within your family. Genetic experts consider the patterns of disease that occur among your blood relatives as one element in determining your risk for having the genes for a specific disease or passing these genes to your children. By combining this with family information and additional risk factors, our specialists can determine your risk of inherited disease. With the addition of genetic testing for an identified gene mutation, experts can determine whether you carry disease-related genes before symptoms occur. Even if a specific gene test is not available, risk assessment is still a worthwhile option for surveillance recommendations and prevention strategies.

    Extractions: donations BREAST CANCER GENES: MYTHS AND FACTS A fact sheet compiled by the Our Bodies Ourselves and The Council for Responsible Genetics Last revised October 2000 Scientists do not currently know what causes breast cancer or how to prevent it. Research completed over the past twenty years indicates the existence of several risk factors that seem to increase an individual’s chance of getting the disease. The two most significant risk factors for breast cancer currently identified are gender and age. In addition, family history, and in a small number of cases genetics, can indicate an increased risk for breast cancer. All women and men are born with two copies of the so-called "breast cancer genes," BRCA-1 and BRCA-2. When functioning properly, these genes are thought to protect against cancer by suppressing abnormal cell growth. If one copy of these tumor suppressor genes becomes damaged, the other copy can act as a "brake" on uncontrolled cell growth. Scientists have identified at least four other genes that may play a role in breast cancer risk. Several hundred variations of the BRCA genes have been identified so far. Some of these appear to be linked to an increased risk of breast and ovarian cancer, particularly in women with a strong family history of one or both of these diseases. A woman born with one damaged version of a BRCA gene has only one working set of "brakes" for uncontrolled cell growth. If her second BRCA gene becomes damaged by exposure to carcinogens or otherwise, the woman can develop cancer. BRCA variants, in and of themselves, do not

    Extractions: There are more than 200 different types of cancer and each year more than 77,000 Australians are diagnosed with the disease. At the present time, cancer is the number one cause of death in Australia, with more than 34,000 deaths per year. The most common cancers are bowel, prostate, breast, melanoma, and lung cancer. In most cases of cancer, we will never fully understand how they were caused. Our current understanding is that environmental and internal (including genetic) influences combine to alter a normal body cell to a cell that grows without inhibition Ð a cancer cell. However, in some families where there are a number of cases of cancer on one side of the family, there can be an inherited gene change causing these cancers. Even though only around 5% of all cancer can be explained by such gene changes, people with these changes are at a much greater risk of developing cancer than people in the general population.

    Extractions: Genetic Counselor What are genetic counselors? Genetic counselors are health professionals with specialized graduate degrees and experience in the areas of medical genetics and counseling. Most enter the field from a variety of disciplines, including biology, genetics, nursing, psychology, public health and social work. Genetic counselors provide information and support to families who have members with birth defects or genetic disorders and to families who may be at risk for a variety of inherited conditions. They identify families at risk, investigate the problem present in the family, interpret information about the disorder, analyze inheritance patterns and risks of recurrence, and review available options with the family. Genetic counselors also provide supportive counseling to families, serve as patient advocates, and refer individuals and families to community or state support services. They serve as educators and resource people for other healthcare professionals and for the general public. Some counselors also work in administrative capacities. Many engage in research activities related to the field of medical genetics and genetic counseling. Definition adopted by the National Society of Genetic Counselors , Inc. 1983

     Extractions: Jon A. Wolff, M.D. Description The mission of the Cancer Genetics Program is to develop the capabilities of experimental genetic analysis to define causative pathways that affect tumor growth. A series of mouse models for human cancer is being developed as a starting point. The Program then aims to develop the capacity for a detailed molecular genetic analysis of tumor in animals and in humans. This knowledge can give a concrete basis for diagnosis and treatment. Specific Aims To explain the origins of cancer in animal models by identifying genetic factors that affect tumor growth.
