6. Personalized medicine can cut breast cancer risk
   02-15-2008 · EurekAlert!
   The time has come for breast cancer risk assessment, counseling and genetic testing to move from cancer specialists to the realm of primary care. A growing body of evidence has documented the benefits of preventive measures for high-risk women including those with mutations in the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes. Referral for cancer-risk assessment and BRCA testing in the primary care setting is a necessary step towards personalized medicine for women at risk.

7. Research linking Ashkenazi Jews and breast cancer genes beset by problems
   11-01-2006 · EurekAlert!
   Genetic research over the past decade has linked Ashkenazi Jewish ethnicity to an increased risk for hereditary breast cancer, so much so that certain gene mutations have become known as "Jewish ancestral mutations." But a new study released in the November 2006 issue of the American Journal of Public Health challenges this population-based approach, warning that disparities in access to care and other unintended consequences for specific ethic groups can result, and may have already occurred.

10. Study reveals aspirin's colorectal cancer prevention mechanism
    05-23-2007 · EurekAlert!
    Aspirin therapy's ability to reduce the risk of colorectal cancer, seen in a large number of studies, appears to depend on the drug's inhibition of the COX-2 enzyme, the action that also underlies aspirin's usefulness for treating pain and inflammation. Investigators from Massachusetts General Hospital, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and Brigham and Women’s Hospital have found that regular aspirin intake only reduced the incidence of colorectal tumors that overexpress COX-2.
