ABSTRACT
Breast cancer susceptibility gene (BRCA) is a tumor suppressor gene. The carriers of BRCA mutation have a significantly higher risk of breast, ovarian, pancreatic, prostate and rectal cancers than the general population. BRCA gene detection can effectively evaluate the risk of relevant malignant tumors. In this article, the recent research progress on the relationship between BRCA gene mutations and related cancers is summarized, and the roles of BRCA gene testing in the prevention and management of relevant malignant tumors are discussed.
