Summary
Does the olfactomdine provide an help to limit the number of false positives in the overall imaging balance and limit the number of unnecessary biopsies?
Description
About 5% of breast cancers are associated with the presence of a constitutional genetic alteration. Two genes are being studied: BRCA1 and BRCA2.
The national program for breast cancer screening target women 50 to 74 years but does not include women with significant risk factors. However in identifiable risk situations, breast cancer incidence is increased: and it affects 1 in 4 women with certain risk histological lesions and more than 1 in 2 women carrying a mutation in the BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene.
Studies have shown that the olfactomdine 4 (OLFM4) is highly overexpressed in tumors compared to healthy tissue. The OLFM4 might therefore be a marker for early detection of breast cancer. We wish to determine the positive predictive value of OLFM4 seric dosing of patients at risk with respect to imaging.
